Adams Peak

Journey Beyond the Clouds

Discover Paradise

Adams Peak, also known as Sri Pada, is a sacred conical mountain rising 2,243 meters (7,359 feet) above central Sri Lanka. Revered across multiple faiths, it is famed for the legendary “Sacred Footprint” at its summit—believed by Buddhists to be the footprint of the Buddha, by Hindus that of Shiva, and by Christians and Muslims as Adam or St. Thomas. This unique spiritual significance makes Adams Peak one of the world’s most extraordinary pilgrimage sites.

Beyond its religious importance, the climb itself is an unforgettable journey. Pilgrims and travelers ascend thousands of stone steps, often at night, to witness the breathtaking sunrise from the summit. The panoramic views reveal mist-covered valleys, tea plantations, and distant peaks, while the mountain’s silhouette casts a perfect triangular shadow across the landscape at dawn. The season from December to May is especially popular, when the pathways are illuminated and the atmosphere is alive with devotion and camaraderie.

Adams Peak is not only a spiritual landmark but also a natural wonder—an experience that blends heritage, faith, and adventure. Whether you seek cultural immersion, scenic beauty, or personal reflection, the ascent to Sri Lanka’s most iconic peak is a journey into the heart of paradise.
