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

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.

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.
