When you scale heights to appreciate nature, trust it to reward you. So, when you set off to climb up a 7360 ft. high mountain, expect a stunning view of the sunrise, along with some wonderful bio-diversity.

As you reach Nallathanni, the base of Adam’s Peak, various kinds of mammals, birds and butterflies will have dotted your journey. Besides, the lushness of the mountain will please your senses.

Adam’s Peak is also called Sri Pada; the ‘Lord’s Foot’ as it is believed that Lord Buddha’s footprint was carved on the rock on his third visit to the island. The Muslims believe it Adam’s footprint, while the Hindus consider it as that of Lord Shiva. These beliefs stem from the fact that there’s a depression in the rocky summit, which resembles a footprint.
