Adam's Peak (Sri Pada)

Adam's Peak, known locally as Sri Pada, is one of the most sacred mountains in Asia — venerated by Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Christians alike. Pilgrims climb through the night to reach the summit shrine and witness a breathtaking sunrise, followed by the mountain's famous triangular shadow. The classic Ratnapura (Gilimale–Carney) trail is the steepest and most traditional route.
