Adam's Peak is one
of the major eco tourism destinations in the
hill country of Sri Lanka . The key attraction
of the ADAM'S PEAKWILDERNESS SANCTUARY is
Adam's Peak itself. The 2243 metre peak has a
great significance for various different
religions. Buddhists believe the footprint on
the summit is that of Buddha; Hindus hold it to
be the mark of Shiva; Muslims are convinced it
is that of Adam, who wept after the loss of Eden
(whereby the mountain got its name); and some
Christians believe the indentations were caused
when St.Thomas, Christ's Apostle who came East,
prayed at the peak. As a result, the mountain
peak has been a pilgrimage centre for over 1000
years. Whatever its religious significance, this
famous landmark offers some breathtaking views
of the hill country and an enchanting wilderness
sanctuary. The majority of climbers begin their
ascent at night in order to arrive at the top in
time for a magical sunrise when the mystical
shadow of the peak is perfectly cast across the
clouds.
This eco tourism
destination in Sri Lanka is one of those truly
unique moments that will live on in your memory
long after the aches and pains from the climb to
the wilderness sanctuary have gone! In addition
to Adam's Peak itself, the Peak Wilderness
Sanctuary offers some superb nature trails
through tropical rainforests, across rivers and
past lush tea plantation.
Guidelines
for Guests
Please bear in mind that during the Sri Lankan
pilgrimage season (December to April), the timing of the
hike is sometimes dependent on the crowds that climb the
mountain, especially during Poya holidays [Full Moon]
and weekends – December to April and almost everyday
during the month of March).
