Central Highlands

Adam's Peak

Pelgrimsberg die wordt beklommen voor de zonsopgang en zijn religieuze betekenis.

Introductie

Adam’s Peak is een heel specifieke bestemming: hij past bij reizigers die een fysiek zware nachtklim willen, met religieuze context en zonsopgang op de top.

The mountain has significance across multiple faith traditions and is one of Sri Lanka’s most symbolic pilgrimage sites.
