Start from Your Hotel in Colombo Kuruwita-Erathna route to Adam’s Peak: (12km)
The Adams peak trail except in certain place is an intense and continuous climb. The trail follows through forests and abandoned Tea fields therefore its broader though note that except in most difficult of places steps aren’t available. Passing “waranagala” one could see the Waranagala falls which best seen during off season, across the bridge and trail along the right side of the forest which brings you to the rocky bed of the water fall and several inviting water pools.
As you walk along you’ll pass the “Ambalama” or the resting place at “seethagangula” meaning icy-river a great place to chill but mind you the water is VERY chilly! From here the forest thickens till you get to the Medahinna Temple a Buddhist shrine. Around 09km or so from the starting point you’ll find the next resting point known as “Idikatupana” a great place to witness the sunset. Further on you’ll join up with another trail leading from Ratnapura town at “Galwangediya” resting point.From here the trail joins up with the Hatton-Maskeliya route and proceeds to the summit together.
