From the Dambatenne factory, it is a 7km uphill walk. You need to start walking by 4:00 AM to catch the 5:45 AM sunrise. The path is very obvious; it is a paved road that zigzags through the tea bushes all the way to the top. Make sure you get there early, because the mist rolls in by 9:00 AM and completely blocks the panoramic view.

Bring a flashlight. The tea estates are pitch black and there are occasional wild boars.

If you are lazy, you can hire a tuk-tuk to drive you up in the dark and then just walk down. Walking down is beautiful.
