Accepted practical take for Bandarawela: Pack rain shell + grip shoes even in dry months; polished stone and clay around Bandarawela get slick fast. Specifically on short hike difficulty, confirm opening hours and whether you need a guide or ticket-desk cash.

Locking a morning window for Bandarawela and keeping buffer for short hike difficulty. Saving offline maps plus a rain-cafe backup. This narrowed it.

From recent passes through Bandarawela: Build buffer if connecting through Colombo traffic the same day as Bandarawela. CMB hours punish tight plans.
