I was 50 at the time. And my wife and I don't like couch vacations, BUT!!!! Read about the difficulties in advance (the descent is even more difficult, by the way) Not our religion. And there 's no point in raping yourself to check the box . After climbing for three days (I do a little sports in the city.... there, other mice are "trying" to work...))) I could barely get up and down the steps in the hotel. The view (if you're lucky with the weather) is no better than at other high points in Sri Lanka... Come down already in the heat!!! Tip: you need to go down diagonally, running... not in a straight line...(again, on the descent, other muscles begin to work- untrained at all) there, the steps are often not formatted - 50-70 cm long for two steps... Of course, until you can (you won't) You won't believe Zen in this place... I was there back in 2017, I wouldn't have gone, I wouldn't have lost ANYTHING
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.
Tourists don't go!
I don't recommend the place. The way up is one big staircase. There are questionable shops around, the atmosphere of the market. The locals are shouting and gawking unkindly. You feel unsafe and uncomfortable.
There's literally a dump waiting for you at the top, it smells like a toilet. The top itself has been built up with some kind of fences, nature is not visible.
