Safety walking past stray dogs after Hiriketiya beach parties
6 Answers
Absolutely NOT safe to walk that route at 2 AM. The path connecting Hiriketiya and Dickwella goes over a steep, unlit jungle hill. The stray dog packs there are very territorial at night and will aggressively bark and occasionally nip at people walking alone in the dark. Always pay 300-500 LKR for a tuk-tuk waiting outside the club to drive you safely back to Dickwella.
Will tuk-tuks definitely be waiting outside Dots that late
Just negotiate the price before you get in, they try to overcharge drunk tourists.
I walked it once and got surrounded by four dogs. I had to slowly back away until a passing scooter scared them off. Take a tuktuk.
Yes, there is always a line of them waiting when the main beach bars close.
There are also snakes on the warm asphalt at night in that jungle section. Use a vehicle.
