We went climbing Adams Peak(known to locals as Sri Pada) in Sri Lanka but took a few wrong turns on the way. We ended up in Ratnapura on the back side of the mountain, 5 hours by bus away from the well-traveled route from Hatton. We discovered an alternative route which is about 8KMs, and more known by Buddhist locals as a pilgrimage that some take days to climb. We were able to climb the mountain fairly quick in 7 hours. Once getting to the top we descended down into Hatton in a rainstorm and took a 5-hour shuttle back to Weligama. Legs hurt for days. Great time!
