Bus to Dalhousie

Tuesday, 9 March 2010
Trincomalee, Sri Lanka

After four pleasant days in Kandy, I decided to continue my Sri Lankan journey. I wanted to climb Adam’s Peak. Therefore, I needed to travel to Dalhousie, which is the main gateway to Adam’s Peak. There was no direct bus to Dalhousie. I had to change bus in Hatton, and also in Maskeliya. The trip took around five hours through nice scenery. Lots of tea plantations. This was on Friday (5 March).

I found a nice, little guesthouse in Dalhousie, it’s called Green House, and I was charged 800 Rs for the room (no attached bathroom though). I also had a tasty evening meal consisting of different vegetable curries, prepared by the guesthouse staff. I went to sleep early and didn’t bother to look around Dalhousie. It’s basically just a bus stop with some food stalls etc., plus a couple of places to stay.
