Adam’s Peak

Adam’s Peak, also known as “Sri Pada”, is a mountain in Sri Lanka that is sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, and Muslims. It is believed by all four religions that the footprint on the summit of the mountain is the footprint of a holy figure.

For Buddhists, it is the footprint of Buddha; for Hindus, it is the footprint of Shiva; for Christians, it is the footprint of Adam; and for Muslims, it is the footprint of Adam after he was expelled from the Garden of Eden.

No matter your religious beliefs or reason for visiting, Adam’s Peak is a must-do experience in Sri Lanka. The challenge of the climb, the stunning beauty of the mountain, and the unique cultural experience make it a truly unforgettable adventure. It’s tough, but it’s worth it.
