Our guide Sahan was cheerful, kind and helpful on the climb which has lots of very steep steps and some climbing over and through large boulders with small gaps. The view at the top was amazing, well worth it. We went at sunset which was a very busy time and there were long queues and waits to get through the narrow and difficult parts, on the way up and back down. It was dark as we climbed back down, there are a few lights on the path and Sahan used his phone torch to light the way. He made us feel safe. A bit annoyingly on Viator it let us book the pick up from our hotel, but the tour company messaged the day before to say it was 2000 rupees to pick us up from there as it was outside the free pick up area. It would have been good to know this when we booked.
