All-Inclusive Adam's Peak Guided Night Hike from Kandy
Vollständige Beschreibung
Der Adam’s Peak ist ein 2.243 Meter hoher Kegel inmitten eines 224 Quadratkilometer grossen Wildnisreservats, und er ist gleichzeitig fuer vier Religionen heilig. Buddhisten halten die Vertiefung am Gipfel fuer den Fussabdruck des Buddha, Hindus fuer den von Shiva, Muslime und Christen fuer den von Adam, weshalb die Pilgersaison zehntausende Menschen auf derselben Treppe sieht.
Der Aufstieg erfolgt nachts, und nicht aus Dramatik. Es sind etwa 5.500 Stufen auf sieben Kilometern, und es tagsueber in den Tropen zu tun, waere brutal; es zwischen 2 und 5 Uhr morgens zu tun, ist lediglich hart. Der Pfad ist beleuchtet und mit Teestaenden gesaeumt waehrend der Saison von Dezember bis Mai, und in diesem Zeitraum ist es eine wirklich gemeinschaftliche Sache, Familien, Moenche, aeltere Pilger, die es barfuss machen.
Sie erreichen den Gipfel vor der Daemmerung. Bei klarem Wetter wirft der Sonnenaufgang den eigenen Schatten des Berges, ein perfektes Dreieck, ueber die Wolken nach Westen, der Grund, warum die meisten kommen. Der Tempel oben laeutet seine Glocke fuer jeden Pilger, der ihn erreicht hat.
Dann steigen Sie ab, was etwa genauso lange dauert und mehr schmerzt, und der Van bringt Sie durch den Morgen zurueck nach Kandy.
Kandy war die letzte Hauptstadt der singhalesischen Koenige und hielt gegen Portugiesen und Niederlaender durch, bis die Briten sie 1815 einnahmen, und der Tempel der Heiligen Zahnreliquie am See ist der Grund, warum sie wichtig ist: Die Reliquie, von der man glaubt, es sei ein Zahn des Buddha, ist das heiligste Objekt der Insel, und ihre Verwahrung legitimierte einst das Koenigtum. Die Reliquienkammer oeffnet dreimal taeglich fuer Puja, etwa um 5:30, 9:30 und 18:30 Uhr, wenn das Trommeln beginnt und die Schlange am Reliquienschrein vorbeizieht. Die Kleidung bedeckt Schultern und Knie, Schuhe werden am Eingang ausgezogen, und die Esala Perahera im Juli oder August fuehrt den Schrein auf einem Elefanten zehn Naechte lang durch die Stadt.

The climb was a unique experience, guide was very kind and patient, also transfer was smooth and very efficient. After the climb they offered us a very needed breakfast. Thank you!!
This has been one of the highlights of my time in Sri Lanka thus far. Communication with the company was excellent and they sent details of my driver ahead of schedule and he reached out early too. My driver, Ahamed, was absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If I could, I’d have him drive me everywhere! He was fantastic. As was my guide, Priyantha, who was waiting for me at the base of the mountain at 1am when we arrived exactly on schedule. Priyantha was knowledgable, kind, patient and easy company on the walk. We had breathtaking views at the top and Priyantha ensured I was in the correct spot for the sunrise, which was spectacular. It was just incredible and I can’t recommend the tour enough - especially if you’re lucky enough to get Ahamed and Priyantha.
We had a very nice day! The hiking was long and a bit difficult but the views were beautiful. Ours guide and driver were really helpful and did their best to make our trip unforgettable.
The Adam Peak hike was fantastic. Let me start by saying that the agency, with their professionalism, organized the hike down to the finest detail. From the punctuality of the transportation that took us to Adam Peak in a comfortable way, to Priyanthe, our guide, waiting for us as soon as we arrived at Adam Peak. With professionalism and experience, she was able to understand our pace and needs. The effort was worth it in the end. I recommend bringing something that will keep you warm from the cold to the summit. Thank you.
The entire experience was smooth and totally enjoyable. Got picked up from Kandy at 10pm by the driver ShafeerAhmed. Totally professional and safe. Fr be took 3hrs to base of Sr Pada. Felt very safe with Safeer’s driving and had a good nap. Was met by Priyanth my guide at the start of the trek Up. Priyanth is a very knowledgeable, experienced and patient guide… took time to explain things to me, culturally and historically. We made it up to within 100 metres within 3 hours (1.45am to 4.30am). We stopped at a tea shop and had a lovely hot milk tea as it was too early get up for sunrise. Made our way up at about 5.15 and it was just magical! Totally recommend this tour 😊
The experience was excellent from start to finish. The driver, Ahamed, provided a safe and smooth transfer, was punctual, and very attentive to my needs. The guide, Priyantha, was knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the places we visited. He was especially helpful in finding the best spots to watch the sunrise. While the activity is a bit physically challenging, it is absolutely worth the effort. I highly recommend this tour!
Safe and good transport both to and from the mountain, and a very nice guide to bring us to the top. Will recommed doing this, but bring warm clothes!!
The transportation was smooth. The guy was professional too. It’s cold up hill so don’t forget to keep yourself warm!
our driver was safe and very considerate. Our guidePryianth was so informative kind generous but over all he was the sweetest young man. I can't praise Imran and Priyanth enough. The walk is tough in places but so worth while when you get to the to to wait for sunrise. Breakfast was exelent.
I was looking for a way to climb Adams Peak from Kandy and I booked this activity. I must say that it exceeded all my expectations. The organisation is perfect and the driver Imran took care of every detail. The experience is truly unique and unforgettable, especially in the season when locals go on pilgrimage to the temple. Definitely recommended.
