Itinerary description
It is the hard way to climb the Adam's peak.
You must take a bus from Ratnapura to Sri Palabadalla (1h30) and the find an accomodation on site (in inhabitants house, for 800-1000rps in off season).
Then you should wake up at 00h to leave in order to arrive for the sunset.
Be well equiped with a flash light, water, long pants and shoes, warm clothes for the top.
Be careful to the leeches (if you get, just quit it...as we did) and the floor is really sleepery.
The difficulty of this trek is that it's only steps and the high heigth difference.
Enjoy!

It was a pretty difficult trail. But the sceneries are stunning. Totally worth the hassle.
