TOUR TO LITTLE ADAM’S PEAK IN SRI LANKA

Adam's Peak

At over 7000 feet above sea level, the striking pyramid shaped Adam’s Peak is probably the island’s most remarkable mountain.

A depression in the rocky summit resembles a huge footprint, which has been venerated as a sacred sigh from remote antiquity; identified by Buddhists as the Buddha’s footprint, by Hindus as that of Shiva, and by Muslims and Christians, as Adam’s.

Climbers taking the Hatton route, which is approximately the halfway point of the mountain, usually start the climb between 1 and 2 am to reach the summit just before sunrise, depending on your fitness level you may like to start a little earlier or later. 

The climb consists of steep steps, and can be quite strenuous in some parts towards the summit. Hundreds of pilgrims’ flock here in the season between December to April, so the last part of the climb tends to be slow and crowded.

It may be a long journey, but it helps the travelers interact with nature in a different way. Little Adam’s Peak is visited mainly because of the great hiking experience it gives to its climbers. It never falls short of beauty. It is filled with greenery and beautiful trees and plants. Resorts and hotels have been built to serve the climbers that may be tired after the long walk. The walk may be long, but once one reaches the top, it is just worth the struggle. The path is straight making the walk less complicated.
