I am staying in Dickwella but partying at Dots in Hiriketiya tonight. Is it safe to walk between the two beaches late at night considering the stray dogs.

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.

I walked it once and got surrounded by four dogs. I had to slowly back away until a passing scooter scared them off. Do not do it.

There are also snakes on the warm asphalt at night in that jungle section. Just use a vehicle.
