Sri Lanka – Adam’s Peak

A dented rock sits at the top of the pyramid peak, in the midst of the tea country – known as sri pada, or the “sacred footprint”. The believers of different religions make a stiff climb in order for them to worship at the holy heel, which depends on their faith – perhaps can be the mark of Shiva, Adam, Saint Thomas or Buddha. The pilgrim’s route leads up a 2,244m mountain along shrines, tea estates, steep steps, a forest filled with wildlife and long drops. Make the climb to have a view of devotees giving offerings and amazing highlands stretch out below.
