See the weather forecast in advance. Went out at night, came ~ an hour before dawn. We didn't see the dawn, fog and solid milk.But we weren't upset at all-there are a lot of impressions.While we were descending, the fog began to dissipate.If you go into the night, be sure to take a flashlight.Although it is written that the track is illuminated-either it is no longer the season or it is not, we walked (in mid-October) in total darkness.You can't take a step without a flashlight. the climb is difficult, even though you walk along the steps all the way.It's damp in places. They didn't regret it at all. And yes, the temple complex at the very top can be closed, because it is open only 6 months a year..

Very beautiful places. It's a long way from the hotel (more than 3 hours), but the nature of Sri Lanka is worth it. We took an individual tour, it's very convenient, you don't wait for anyone, you can adjust the route and time, photos and videos wherever you want. The surrounding poverty is a bit annoying, but unfortunately it is everywhere in Sri Lanka. In addition to visiting Adam's Peak, the tour included a train ride over the 9th arch bridge, which was the worst part. Because the train was packed, we stood in the crush and heat for about 15 minutes, we didn't see anything. Then they brought us to this bridge by car, tuk tuk and on foot. Beauty! In general, except for the train - 5 out of 5.

This place is rarely seen in tourist offers. And there are reasons for that. Namely 5000 steps🙈 And ideally, make the ascent at night. Firstly, it is not so hot, however, it is not hot at all at the top, but even cold, and secondly, dawn comes after night, and from the top of the mountain it is incredibly good. Thirdly, it is easier to descend in the morning in the heat🤣 The locals should climb this peak at least once a year, but not everyone succeeds. They go with families, with children, grandmothers and grandfathers go, they go in slates and barefoot... And that's what's important! If you have started climbing, you must complete it, you cannot return. There is a temple upstairs, supposedly where Buddha/Adam left his mark. At the top of the mountain you will be asked to take off your shoes, so it's better to wear socks. It was difficult for us. Very. But we got up. And they went down. And it turned out to be harder than lifting, my knees creaked in all sorts of ways. But it was worth it.
