Adam's Peak, also known as Sri Pada, is a 2,243-meter-tall sacred mountain in central Sri Lanka. It's famous for the Sri Pada, a rock formation near the summit believed to bear the footprint of Buddha, Hanuman, Shiva, Adam, or St. Thomas. The mountain is a popular pilgrimage site for Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, with various names reflecting its multicultural significance. Accessible by multiple trails, it offers stunning views and a spiritual experience for visitors of all faiths.
