It was quite all right, except the heavy rains experienced while on the most difficult part of the trail from Sitha Gagula to Idikatu pana .
Tips, Notes and Special remarks
  • Start from Kuruvita as early as possible
  • Remember that it is a 14km tough walk
  • Be rational when making decisions about crossing rivers on Sithagagula in Erathna route. Spending the night in the forest is not as bad as loosing your life to a rapid!
  • Leeches are there in thousands in this trail be prepared for them
