Besteigung des Adams Peak über den historischen Ratnapura-Pfad

While most visitors climb Adam's Peak from Nallathanniya, the Ratnapura trail is the oldest and most revered path to the summit.

A tougher, quieter climb

The Ratnapura route is longer and steeper, gaining more elevation through forest and tea country.

When to go

The pilgrimage season runs from December to May, when the trail is lit.

Practical tips

Start before midnight to reach the summit for sunrise and carry warm layers.
