Not into 5000-step climbs. Other sunrise treks?

Alternative sunrise treks: (1) Little Adam's Peak (Ella - easy 45-min walk, 360 view, sunrise beautiful). (2) Pidurangala Rock (Sigiriya - moderate 30-45 min climb, view OF Sigiriya Rock at sunrise, best-kept secret). (3) Ella Rock (harder 3-hour hike, but sunrise summit spectacular). (4) Mini World's End (Knuckles - short hike, dramatic viewpoint). (5) Lipton's Seat (Haputale - drive most of the way + short walk, tea estate sunrise). (6) Sigiriya Rock itself (moderate). For easy sunrise reward: Little Adam's Peak or Pidurangala. For fitness-neutral: Lipton's Seat.

Pidurangala for the shot. Thanks!

Pidurangala is underrated - watching sunrise light hit Sigiriya Rock from Pidurangala is more iconic than climbing Sigiriya at sunrise. Half the climb effort, better photo. 3000 LKR entry. Start at gate opening (typically 5am).
