Embark on an unforgettable spiritual and physical journey with this overnight excursion to Adam’s Peak (Sri Pada) — one of Sri Lanka’s most revered natural and religious landmarks.
Depart from Aarunya at 9 PM and travel to the base of Adam’s Peak, where your night-time ascent begins. Join pilgrims and adventurers alike on a guided climb to the summit under a starlit sky, passing tea shops, prayer flags, and ancient stone steps that have been walked for centuries.
Reach the summit in the early hours to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Central Highlands, a magical moment that reveals a perfectly symmetrical shadow of the mountain cast on the clouds — a phenomenon found nowhere else on Earth. For many, this is a deeply moving and transformative experience.
Adam’s Peak is sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, and Muslims, believed to be the site of the Buddha’s footprint, Lord Shiva’s footprint, or that of Adam himself. The atmosphere is peaceful yet powerful, filled with the echoes of chanting, temple bells, and crisp mountain air.
Return to Aarunya the following day, tired but inspired, with memories of one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic adventures.
This experience includes round-trip transport, a local guide, light refreshments, morning breakfast and all necessary arrangements for a safe and comfortable overnight climb.
