Adam's Peak, also known as Sri Pada, is a 2,243-meter-tall sacred mountain in Ella. It's famous for the Sri Pada, a rock formation near the summit believed to bear the footprint of Buddha. Accessible by multiple trails, the mountain offers stunning panoramic views of the greenery below. It's a bit of a hard hike so come prepared with water and snacks. It gets super hot so going early is recommended.

WARNING: There are leeches on this trail. So wear long pants and high socks!!
