No seriously, how long do you think it would take, say walking from 5am to 12noon. Resting. Taking off again from 4pm to 10pm. Resting at night.
The fastest I have done it is at midnight averaging 80-120kmph in a car. No stops, even for a smoke. Made it in three and half hours.
Any takers? For walking it I mean...

In the past there has been people who walk to Katharagama from Jafna on pilgrimage. I once watched a TV program about it. It takes days and I am not sure if they do that any more.

Rakhitha I believe this is called 'Pada Yatra' and takes about a month. But they take it slowly and stop at many temples on the way.
Thanks.
I used to drive there every weekend for three continuous months; we were building a cottage there. Used to leave early, arrive in Sella for B'fast by the roadside.
My BIL did it on a bike, arrived in K'gama saying his bum feels like... you know what! :D
Wijitha did he cycle? How did it take?
