White Elephant

Very close to this challenging climb. The location is only 10:mins from the start. We The hotel was very basic but clean. We had a very spacious room with a view to Adams peak itself. Stunning. The price was reasonable for what you got. Only had breakfast there in which the staff waited til we climbed down and showered other than that we really didn’t have much interaction with the staff. One night was enough

Stayed 1 night before tackling Sri Pada. The rooms are basic, spacious and clean. Manager and staff very obliging. We had authentic meals - very enjoyable. I would recommend as a base for your walking. As I was climing on my own, a local guide was arranged for me called YogaRaj. Yoga was very kind and patient. Sri Pada is tough, the steps are relentless. It was off-season so temple closed. I was glad it was off-season as there were still a number of visitors and the viewing space at the top is cramped. Even though cloudy and misty I saw the sun rise quickly when the clouds briefly broke. Walkers should take out with their rubbish, such a shame to see plastic strewn everwhere. Note also there are a couple of blessing "booths" where you are asked to make a donation.

Basic hotel with extremely nice staff, very good tea, impeccable srilankan dinner, very good breakfast with srilankan and european mix of foods. We had a very good talk with the owner as well. Indeed there is a lot of humidity and the shower is not like at home, but that was compensated by the hospitality! I would recommend this hotel for people who want to climb Adam's peak.
