Confirmed which Knuckles and Sinharaja trails are open after Cyclone Ditwah repairs

Current Forest Department status as of last week. KNUCKLES: Mini-Worlds-End trail (open), Corbetts Gap to Meemure (open, one re-routed section near a slip), Dothalugala (open), Knuckles Peak summit route (open but guide-only), the Riverston-Pitawala Pathana loop (open). Closed/restricted: one back-country route from Thangappuwa to Meemure remained closed for trail rebuilding last I checked, confirm at the Forest office on the day. SINHARAJA: Kudawa entrance trails (Mulawella, Sinhagala, Waturawa) all open; Pitadeniya and Deniyaya entrances all open; the Morningside section (cloud-forest, eastern slope) had some landslide repair but the standard ranger-led routes are running. Always check current status with the Forest Department office at the entrance the morning of your trek, conditions change after heavy rain. May to August is wet and leech-heavy in both ranges.
