View of Adam's Peak

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb to Sri Pada is one of the highlights in Sri Lanka. Most pilgrims take the step path after midnight in order to be at the top of the temple in time for sunrise. The grandiose look is best enjoyed in the off-season.

The climb is best started between 2.30 and 3 o'clock in the morning, so that you are up in time for the sunrise. You should secure yourself a good post early in the East, as it gets very crowded and the best photo slots are quickly gone.
Once the sun is above the horizon, you can watch another spectacle on the back of the mountain. Slowly, the shadow of the mountain emerges in the pink sea of ​​clouds.
