We know it's a very hard situation right now in Sri Lanka and we want to do everything we can to support the locals 🇱🇰 We filmed this video a few weeks ago in March. We were unsure if we should post videos of our time in Sri Lanka, as we don't want to be ignorant of the fact that many people are struggling right now. But ultimately we decided to post our videos of Sri Lanka and hope that they can continue to show the beauty of this country during these tough times, especially because tourism is very important to the country.

Yep, that's also the lesson we learned after this 😁

brother sripadha is a sacred place and also a secret things are happenning. Its not just for sun rise or sun set its very sacred place. Two things to remember while climbing If some one say to say we not sure we can climb the will not be. By the way you have to start this by 4.00 pm evening and you will reach by 12.00 night then stay there till 5-6 morning You have missed supper journey and great experences by the way. Its a bleaaing journey rather just climbing a mountain Also there are 4 road ways to climb this and all 4 ways are same crowded but very interesting hope you will visit next time.

Thank you for still post this video, actually expect the unexpected is part of the beauty of travell

If you go to the Adam's peak from Hatton side, you have to start climbing at least 10.00 p.m. the day before if you want to make it to the top before sunrise. Also, go there on a weekday. There are also other routes as well which normally people use to climb, one called Palabaddala route from Rathnapura, and another from Erathna. Both are longer than Hatton route, but less crowded. Erathna is the most beautiful route and the longest route which is through the forest. But, there is a clear path with stairs at some places. It's also the lesser crowded path. If you go from Erathna, you have to start the climb in the morning the day before. It's a quite nice One day hike. You can leisurely do it with enjoying the nature. there are a few waterfalls as well in that path along with lots of streams and wildlife. There are 7,8 stops as well with Huts and shops for you to rest and have a meal.

Great content.You guys started a bit late. Generally if you start around 7pm in the night there would be much less crowd.

Thanks! 🙂 Yeah, we wanted to plan it efficiently without losing too much sleep 😁 I think our plan would have worked if we had gone during the week, but I think this was also an especially full weekend, as the temple had been closed for quite a while before.

Oh my god..... ! In my life only one time climbed. It's a spiritual thing. if you are climbing Adam's spike you have to be good commitment. Before the climbed Adam's spike we are get spiritual approval from the god. We pray the god. I am 12 years old chilled when I climbing the mountain. Only my grandma with me ....other relatives, my mother & father ..they cannot climbed the mountain. They exhausted by climbing mountain.

Do not climb Adams Peak at week ends, and public holidays in Sri Lanka. That days, there are huge queue to climb the mountain, because it is Sri Pada season. Try to climb on week days. that days, there are less crowded.

@ZoeandSimon

Well, we can't really say because we didn't get the full experience, but we've heard from many people that they loved the view from the top. It is a bit of a detour though, so I would only consider it if you've got enough time. I think we just went at a very busy time, as it was a weekend and Adam's Peak was just recently reopened. So if you go just make sure that it's during the week and not a public holiday.

as a sri lankan and also with not only one experience, but nearly 7 times I would say its one of the best experience you could get in sri lanka. its really worth the effort and time. if you really want to visit it don't go in weekends or sri lankan public holidays. also the season is from December to may. during the rest of the months we consider it as off season because its the monsoon season. with lot of rains it can be pretty hard to get to the top. also all of the shops and temples are closed during this period of time. i would highly recommend you to go in weekdays also in march or February. if you are an experienced climber you can go to the top within 3-4hrs or even less. but if you would like to go kinda slowly 5-6hrs would be enough to go to the top.

It's a good question, the risk/reward ratio for sunrise hikes isn't always very good. Overall it was just much busier than expected 😁 But sunrise hikes can be a great experience, if you don't mind getting up early. I think many travellers just like chasing great views, us included. Plus in the early morning it's not as hot. But for this hike we just underestimated the crowds and the people we asked told us it should be alright. And overall it was still a cool experience, just not the one we expected 🙂

Guys,you need to have a positive mind to climbs otherwise it's not easy....you guys were always negative minded since before the climb.....anyway have a nice journey....

This is not Adam's peak .This is Sripada.For thousand years this sacred place was called Sripada in sinhalese kings' regemes.Only after Europeans came to Sri Lanka this place was called Adam's peak.
