Adams Peak - Bogawantalawe - Galpothuthenna – Belihuloya by surface [90 Kms. ± 03 Hrs]
Start you trek on the trail from Bogawanthalawe to Galpothuthenna through diverse landscapes: forests, jungles, tea plantations, grasslands, desolate areas, changing vegetation types, and spectacular landscape vistas. The 28-km trail begins at a tea plantation at Bogawanthalawa and climbs up steep jungle terrain to flatter grasslands. This open landscape is similar to the famous Horton Plains, located at a higher elevation. Here, look for leopard prints and sambhur deer prints, or even the animals themselves.
Next, hike through a scrub jungle to a tea estate at Non-Pareil. Walk by the tea farmer’s home, garden, and small nursery school. Cross the Belihuloya River and enjoy a lunch break in peaceful surroundings.
After lunch, begin a descent through tea plantations to a sparse and rocky area before continuing through a forest of monkeys and birds. Here, the descent is rather steep, but it offers the most panoramic view of the surrounding region. Complete your trek on a trail through a dense pine tree plantation to finish at the small village of Galpothuthenna, a short drive from Belihuloya.
