Full moon pilgrimage up the sacred mountain – Adam’s Peak

Please get in touch with your sales consultant as soon as the booking is confirmed, who will provide logistical details.

Your naturalist with her guide team will greet you at the meeting point and after a briefing on the trek and safety precautions, we start our exciting climb.

Scaling the dizzying heights of this 2,240 metre high mountain –  Adam’s Peak is the island’s fourth highest mountain – in the early hours of the morning, is to witness not only a spectacular sunrise but also a glimpse of a mysterious triangular shadow cast by the peak against the light of the rising sun. In the company of pilgrims of different faiths who each claim that the mountain’s sacred footprint or Sri Pada was created by one of their own faith, you will experience a peaceful assembly of pilgrims motivated by one belief.

This excursion to Adam’s Peak will be conducted as a day climb from May to December (full moon days) with a stay overnight at the top to witness the sunrise.

From the full moon day in December to May, we will do this as a night climb, beginning a few hours before dawn so that you witness the sunrise at the zenith of Adam’s Peak and descend on the same day.
