Must-Hike Trails in Sri Lanka
Adam’s Peak (Sri Pada)
A sacred mountain revered by multiple religions, Adam’s Peak offers a challenging but rewarding climb to witness a breathtaking sunrise. The pilgrimage season (December to May) is particularly special, but be prepared for crowds.
Horton Plains National Park
Home to World’s End, a dramatic cliff with stunning panoramic views, Horton Plains is a relatively easy hike through unique montane grasslands and cloud forests. Keep an eye out for sambar deer and other wildlife.
Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak
Located near the popular town of Ella, these hikes offer incredible views of the surrounding tea plantations and valleys. Ella Rock is a more challenging trek, while Little Adam’s Peak is a shorter, more accessible option.
