Type: Mountains
Description: This 7,300 foot tall mountain in the jungle of Sri Lanka is sacred to several different religions.
Its Adam's Peak in English, Sri Pada(Holy Mountain) or Samanala Kanda
(Butterfly Mountain) in Sinhalese. This is the only mountain where
pilgrims and travelers alike from all faiths come to worship their Lord
or Guru. How ever Its one of the holiest places for Sri Lankan Buddhists
since they believe Lord Buddha in one of his visits to Sri Lanka
visited Sri Pada on the invitation of God Saman and set his foot print
on the mountain.
The season to climb Sri Pada begins in December and end in May. It is
very hard to climb the mountain in the other Months due to very bad
weather.
As you climb the summit you will see the breathtaking view of clouds beneath and other mountains and especially the sun rise which will be one of the rarest sites any visitor can see any where in the world. So if you are a adventurous tourist this is a must go site in Sri Lanka.
