While the trail to Kirigalpotta is fairly visible, it winds through very dense cloud forest and can become extremely confusing in the heavy morning mist. We highly recommend hiring a naturalist from the Nuwara Eliya pool. The weather in late April can change in minutes, and the summit becomes dangerous during afternoon thundershowers. Start your hike no later than 6:30 AM to ensure safety.
