Off season on Erathna route after the Covid-19

After the Covid-19 pandemic situation, we had our first journey to Sripada on Erathna route especially to check about the status of the name boards and dust bins which we were placed in December 2019 during our Cleaning project. We informed to PHI Kuruwita and had this hike without informing anyone as the offseason hike is not yet started at that time.

Last day of Sri Pada season-2019

Sri Pada season begins with a procession to carry Sadhathuka Karanduwa, idol of God Saman and jewelries from Pelmadulla to Sri Pada Maluwa. After six months these sacred items are carried back to Pelmadulla by procession. This is my experience of last day at Sri Pada.

The Pilgrimage to Sri Pada via Kuruwita-Erathna route

We started the journey from Petta CTB stand around 2PM on 21st Friday, 2014. There was a Rathnapura bus and we took it to go to Kuruwita. It was around 4.30 when we got down from kuruwita. Our aim was to go up to Erathna and stay there. However after getting down at Kuruwita, we were lucky to catch the last bus that goes up to Adewikanda which is the last point that public transport is available during Sri Pada season.

Journey to Holy peak in off season. (From Kuruwita to Rajamale via Sri Pada peak)

Sri Pada(ශ්රීd පාද) /Adam’s peak one of my favorites places in Sri Lanka. After having seven visits to Sri Pada I wanted to do it in a combination of trails during off season. I selected Kuruwita-Erathna trail for climbing up and Rajamale-Sandagalathanna (සදගල තැන්න) route for getting down.

A two Day Off-Season journey to Sri Pada(Adam’s peak) via Kuruwita-Erathna trail

Since my friends and I had some free time amid closed universities, we decided to seek some adventure: a hike that was in our minds for a long time, an off season journey to Adam’s peak and we chose Kuruwita-Erathna trail.
