Morning hike to the little Adam's peak | Sri Lanka

Hike & Climb of the Little Adam’s Peak.

The morning after we just planned to go for a short hike or more to say, walk, of the little Adam´s peak. So at 8 am we set off, empty stomach and no sunscreen off to our 1.5 hours climb. Having climbed for a little bit we got so absorbed into the landscape that we started following some little tracks off the main path to hike from one little peak to the other. On our last peak we were quite Close (or at least I thought) to the Ella´s waterfalls that we decided to aim for those since we wanted to go there in the afternoon anyway.

I convinced Giulia to try and take the direct way to the valley, where some fields were and then walk back to the street. The ground was quite steep at the beginning, so we climbed down a steep 10m rocky area, where I almost got a heart attack watching Giulia climbing straight down and facing the landscape instead of the rock. We followed some animal tracks until the grass became higher and higher. The grass started getting so high we couldn´t see anything so we decided to head back.

After a short stop over to visit the nine arch Bridge, we were back at our homestay at 3pm.
