Adam's Peak two-day tour with sunrise hike

-What you can expect-
The summit of Sri Pada – or Adam's Peak – is the best seat in Sri Lanka to watch the sunrise. Climb the slopes of this important religious pilgrimage with an experienced guide on this overnight tour from the coastal regions of Sri Lanka, including Bentota, Negombo, or Galle, as you make your way into Sri Lanka's highlands. Jaw-dropping views greet you at the top, from where you'll watch daybreak with a 360-degree view.

You'll travel to Nallathanniya late afternoon and check in at your hotel to grab some sleep before you start your hike. It's an early start, but some things are worth getting out of bed for. As a string of lights lead the way, your guide will give valuable insights into what is known as the 'Sacred Footprint'. Once you've made it, you'll be rewarded with sensational views and a chance to rest while you wait for nature's show to begin.

With grandstand views of the surrounding highlands and valleys, sit back as the sun rises with the sky painted a hue of warm tones. And – if the weather conditions allow – experience the peculiar phenomenon known as 'shadow of the peak' – where a triangular shadow of the mountain is cast onto the clouds below. Once the sun is up, you'll descend the mountain to rest those tired legs and tuck into a well-deserved breakfast at the hotel, before heading back.
