Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for the feedback, we'll pass this to our product team to reviewTrip date: November 2018 - AAngela· May 17th, 2019The dedication of Chamara Abeywardhane was crucial in making this a very good trip. Explore should discuss with Cham to make modifications so Adams Peak is not cloned on a busy time e.g. Friday, Saturday nights. Credit should also go to the local guides who came on the walks with us on several days. One of them Arinka (Eco team) was brilliant at showing us birdsShow moreExplore! commented on this reviewThanks for your great feedback. we'll review Adams Peak and pass on your kind comments to Cham :)Trip date: January 2019

Asked on February 17th, 2025Could you please comment on the likely weather and if it is low season with persistent showers/humid in July in South/West Sri Lanka where this tour goes? Have you run it in July before and how did it go?
Explore!Operator•Written February 2025Sri Lanka usually experiences warm and tropical temperatures and despite it being rainy season in certain parts you will still have plenty of sunshine throughout the tour which enables you to participate in outdoor activities. The rainfall pattern can be unpredictable so we advise carrying an umbrella with you however sometimes you may just require this for short periods or othertimes not at all.
