The park is spread over the two highest mountains in the area called Kirigalpotta and Totapola. The plateau-like structure along with plains on one end, thick forests and mountains on other make the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka.
It is a popular tourist destination, with “World’s End” being the key attraction. The park is accessed by the Nuwara Eliya-Ambewela-Pattipola and Haputale – Boralanda roads, and there are railway stations at Ohiya and Ambewela.
