Discover Adam’s Peak

The Adam’s Peak or Sri Pada in the local language or Al Rohun in Arabic is a mountain located in the central hills of Nuwareliya. This place is also call Samanala Kanda or “butterfly mountain” because of the large swarms of butterfly that fly towards the mountain during the summer. The place is prominent for the footprint on the summit of the mountain. All the four faiths (i.e. Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims & Christians) believe that place is significant for their own beliefs; Buddhists believe that it is the footprint of the Buddha, the Hindus believe that it is the footprint of Siva, Muslims believe that it is the footprint of Adam and the Christians believe that it is the footprint of St. Thomas. Despite the religious inclination, the mountain doesn’t fail to awe the tourists who climb to the summit. If you’re with your friends and looking forward to hike, this is one of the best hikes you will ever have.
