    Tips

    Hiking

    The climb is best started between 2.30 and 3 o'clock in the morning, so that you are up in time for the sunrise. You should secure yourself a good post early in the East, as it gets very crowded and the best photo slots are quickly gone.
    Once the sun is above the horizon, you can watch another spectacle on the back of the mountain. Slowly, the shadow of the mountain emerges in the pink sea of ​​clouds.

    Hiking

    It's best to start from Nallathanniya around 2am. You should be at the summit by 5:30 a.m. at the latest to secure a spot heading east. The sun rises around 6:20 a.m. You should avoid the weekend or a day near the full moon, as it is usually too crowded and you may not reach the summit at sunrise - due to. Traffic jam in front of the summit.
