Adam's Peak tour. 2 days

Adam’s Peak is the Sacred Mountain and one of the most iconic places in Sri Lanka. Representatives of 4 famous religions make a pilgrimage here: Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.

The height of the mountain is 2243 m above sea level. It is better to come to the place in the afternoon to relax a little at the hotel and have dinner. Start the rise should be approximately at 1-2 am, takes up the rise, on average about 4-5 hours. In this part of the island at night is quite cool. At the top, it will be even colder, so you need to take warm clothes with you and wear closed and comfortable shoes.

At the first steps, and there are only about 5000 of them, there is a statue of Buddha. A few hours of travel ahead - 7 km up. Fortunately, on the way there are small cafes where you can eat hot tea with sweets.

Why is it worth climbing at night? Perhaps not only because of the invigorating cold, although during the day due to the heat, it would be much harder to climb. The main idea of the night hike is to see the unique dawn from the top of the mountain. At sunrise, that almost mystical and only minute appears when you can see the cone-shaped shadow of the mountain that covers the island. This is an unusual spectacle that Mother Nature has prepared, as if confirming the special symbolism of this place. The shadow of Adam’s Peak paints a mysterious pyramid on the rising hills and in the morning fog.

Next to the imprint of the divine foot, pilgrims gather. The imprint remained on the protruding rock, it is a depression in the form of a human foot. The edges of the trail are framed, as if with a golden frame, it is decorated with precious stones. People are looking to the east. And here's the first ray of sunshine! The birth of a new day is accompanied by a real, dazzling beauty, a miracle - the sun rises from behind the mountains and floods the world with light. Every Buddhist should make a pilgrimage to this holy mountain at least once in his life. Here, according to legend, after the Enlightenment, the Buddha set foot on Earth.

Descent from the mountain, takes an average of 4 hours, and tomorrow it will be difficult to get out of bed, but to see the miracle, it is worth spending this effort!

Day 2:

Breakfast at the Hotel.

If desired, you can add a train to tea plantations.

Train on tea plantations. Near Nuwar Eliya is the station of Nanu Oya, from there begins an hour and a half journey on a slow train through endless tea plantations, mountains and rivers. This intricate maze of tea plantations. This green carpet with a bizarre pattern, descending velvet terraces down, seems boundless. And disappearing in the swirling clouds somewhere far away. The train is open to all winds. You can shout in the open windows with the local children from the next car. The railroad here is very winding. Many tunnels, narrow stone bridges over the abyss. And down there, on the plantations, tea pickers are slowly doing their job. They can wave their hand and they will respond. The end point of the train journey is Talawakelle or Hatton Station, where your car will be waiting for you to continue an unforgettable journey around the island. Travel by train is not included in the main program of this tour, but is an option that can be added to this trip. Also, in the case of rafting in the program, the train can not be added to the program, due to lack of time.

Rafting. This sport from the first minutes turns into a fascinating journey through the most beautiful places of this magical island, which will help you to fully realize the common expression “stunning beauty of nature”. The rafting takes place on an average stretch of the Kalani River, so almost all tourists and even children can take part in this wonderful enterprise. But we must not forget that fusion is, first of all, the coordinated actions of the whole team, on which the safety of each member of the group depends. Alloying requires extreme attention on instruction. The main equipment for this “adrenaline” journey is an inflatable boat or raft, which is a six-seater raft operated by local guides. Ammunition for tourists – helmets and life jackets are provided in a special center. Rafting is not included in the main program of this tour, but is an option that can be added to this trip for an additional fee. Also, if there is a train on plantations in the program, rafting can not be added to the program, due to lack of time.

At this, the excursion program ends and the transfer to the desired place of subsequent stay follows.

For this tour with you you need to have warm clothes and closed comfortable shoes. In case rafting is included in the program, you must have shorts in which you can swim and the upper part of a bathing suit for women.
