点评:Positives
The climb initially looks tough but after midway, is quite easy.
The access, steps are all well maintained.
Better to go by 6/6.30 am so that it is easier to climb.
Nice view from the top and we have to marvel at the pond or pool area envisaged by the architects at that height.
Negatives
Cost per head is expensive for the climb. In May 2025, it was 35 USD for foreigners and because I was from India and India is part of SAARC countries with Srilanka, it was reduced to 20 USD which is roughly 1700 per person. And this is without a guide; one should add 25 USD (individual or group). For the amount they are charging, if they provide a guide, it would cushion the cost but then this 35 USD per person is a rip-off. They could reduce it easily by 50%.
Carry a couple of water bottles as we need enough. There are no shops in between.
翻译:优点
攀登过程起初看起来很艰难,但过了一半就容易了。
入口和台阶都维护得很好。
最好在早上6点或6点30分出发,这样更容易攀登。
山顶的景色很美,我们不得不惊叹于建筑师在那个高度设计的池塘或泳池区域。
缺点
攀登费用昂贵。2025年5月,外国人攀登费用为35美元,由于我来自印度,而印度与斯里兰卡同属南盟国家,所以降到了20美元,大约每人1700美元。而且这还是在没有导游的情况下;个人或团体攀登需要加收25美元。以他们收取的费用来说,如果他们提供导游,可以抵消一些费用,但每人35美元简直是敲诈。他们可以轻易地把价格降低50%。
带上几个水瓶,因为我们需要足够的水。攀登过程中没有商店。
