What you'll do
A true test to your personal fitness levels when engaging in this great adventure. Its 6.5 km trek (one way) to climb the Adams Peak mountain to catch the day break from the summit. The ascent of Adam’s Peak is traditionally made by night, allowing you to reach the top in time for dawn, which offers the best odds of seeing the extraordinary views free from cloud as well as a chance a glimpsing the peak’s enigmatic shadow. Most visitors climb the mountain during the pilgrimage season, which starts on the Duruthu Poya day in December or January and continues until the Vesak Poya in May. During the season the weather on the mountain is at its best, and the chances of a clear dawn at the summit highest; the steps up the mountainside are also illuminated and little stalls and teashops open through the night to cater to the throngs of weary pilgrims dragging themselves up.
