Hiking Adams Peak via the Erathna route in late April

The crowd on the Erathna route is literally one tenth of the Hatton route. You get a much more spiritual, quiet experience climbing up.

Ensure you bring enough water and high energy snacks. Unlike the Hatton side, the food and tea stalls on the Erathna side are very sparse, especially in the lower half.

Start the hike early afternoon so you can navigate the difficult rocky sections in the daylight before making the final push to the summit at night.

It is a true wilderness adventure. You will cross stunning rivers and waterfalls. Just be very cautious of flash floods if it rains heavily during your ascent.
