About this video series.

This is not really a journey we have been prepared for. We wanted to go from Horton Plains to Babarakanda Falls. It was evening so I wanted to find a shorter route, so I chose this route. Before we got here, we did not know that this road was called the Devil's Stairs and that this was a very difficult road.
We started our journey around 3pm.
I knew the fog was coming in the evening. It was also necessary to visit Babarakanda before dark, so it was not possible to travel slowly on this road.
I had to face a lot of problems as I was not moving slowly. You will see all those in this video.
