ADAMS PEAK (SRI PADA)

Adam's peak (also Sri Pada) is a 2,243 metres tall conical mountain located in central Sri Lanka.
Adam's Peak is one of the major eco tourism destinations in the hill country of Sri Lanka . The key attraction of the ADAM'S PEAK WILDERNESS SANCTUARY is Adam's Peak itself. The 2243 metre peak has a great significance for various different religions.

                The huge footprint at the summit of this mountain is believed by Buddhists to be that of Lord Buddha (‘Sri Pada'), whilst Christians suggest that it was where Adam first set foot on earth, and Hindus claim that it belongs to Lord Shiva. As a result, the mountain peak has been a pilgrimage centre for over 1000 years. Whatever it's religious significance, this famous landmark offers some breathtaking views of the hill country and an enchanting wilderness sanctuary.
