Adam's Peak, or Sri Pada, is a sacred mountain in Sri Lanka revered by multiple religions for the footprint-shaped rock formation near its summit. The pilgrimage season runs from December to May, with the most popular time being during the dry season. Climbing is best done at night to witness the sunrise, but be prepared for crowds and challenging steps. While a solo climb is possible for experienced hikers, guided tours offer valuable insights into the cultural significance and history of the peak. The climb typically takes 4-6 hours each way, and the total visit duration can range from 12-18 hours, including rest and the descent. Accessibility can be limited for individuals with mobility issues due to the steep and uneven terrain. Budget around $50-$150 per person, including transportation, accommodation, food, and potential guide fees. Remember to dress respectfully, covering shoulders and knees.
