Introduction to Adams Peak
Sri Lanka is an Asian island that looks like a tiny dot on the world map yet is filled with many natural beauties. The center of this little island is covered by a crown of mountains and many rocky and green mountains signify the importance of the country’s culture and religions.
Our Adams Peak Tour is specially designed to take you to one of the most sacred mountains in Sri Lanka. You will be accompanied by a guide who is well-versed in the local knowledge and the hike. If you require language-specific guides, that can be arranged upon request too. This sacred hike is highly appraised by Sri Lankan and by name it is Adams Peak/ Sri Pada.
The religious beliefs of the mountain
A lot of people climb the mountain because of the significant footprint that is covered and protected because of many reasons. In the Buddhist tradition, it is said to be the footprint of Buddha and in the Hindu belief, it is said to be Hanuman’s or Shiva’s. Some Christian and Islamic believers say it is the footprint of Adam. Because of this, Adams Peak is a regularly visited place in Sri Lanka. Tourists from all around the globe come to visit this place because of its cultural and religious importance.
The hike!
Generally, the hike starts in the middle of the night, so you can reach the top of the mountain to see the sunrise. The tiring hike will be worth the spectacular sunrise you get to see on top. If you are up for an adventurous night hike, this will be it. The climb is a mixture of an inclined walk and crumbled stepping stones. You will be guided throughout, providing information and breaks necessary. The best is at the top of the mountain where you get to see the beautiful city. It is truly a nostalgic moment after an adventurous hike. This tour is dedicated to all audacious travelers with excitement and information.
Adams Peak is admired and appreciated by Sri Lankans and tourists alike. Out of all the mountains in the country, Sri Pada (Adams Peak) is considered a sacred one by all beliefs. The truth of the matter is it depends on who believes what. Nonetheless, it is an amazing hike that is trekked by most tourists. It is also a well-renowned mountain because of its cultural value, thus making it a condensed place.
Get ready to hike!
Make sure to bring your water bottle to quench your thirst and your camera to capture the stunning sunrise. You will find restrooms and refreshments along the way. It is best if you get there just before dawn because just after dawn comes the stunning view. Adams Peak has one of the most unique views of the sunrise every single morning. This is the reason many travelers take up the challenge of hiking the mountain to grab an unforgettable experience.
