Adam’s Peak

Known locally as Sri Pada, Adam’s Peak is one of Sri Lanka’s most sacred mountains. Pilgrims climb its 5,500 steps during the season from December to May to reach the footprint-shaped rock at the summit believed to be sacred in several faiths. Starting the climb at night lets you reach the top in time for sunrise when the shadow of the peak stretches perfectly across the valley. The experience combines spiritual depth with the natural wonder of dawn above the clouds.
