All-Inclusive Adam's Peak Guided Night Hike from Kandy
Descripción completa
El Adam's Peak es un cono de 2.243 metros en medio de un santuario silvestre de 224 kilometros cuadrados, y es sagrado para cuatro religiones a la vez. Los budistas sostienen que la depresion en la cima es la huella de Buda, los hinduistas que es la de Shiva, musulmanes y cristianos que es la de Adan, por lo que la temporada de peregrinacion ve a decenas de miles de personas en la misma escalera.
La subida se hace de noche, y no por el dramatismo. Son aproximadamente 5.500 escalones en siete kilometros, y hacerlo de dia en los tropicos seria brutal; hacerlo entre las 2 y las 5 de la madrugada es simplemente duro. El camino esta iluminado y bordeado de puestos de te durante la temporada de diciembre a mayo, y en ese periodo es algo genuinamente comunitario, familias, monjes, peregrinos ancianos haciendolo descalzos.
Llega a la cima antes del amanecer. En clima claro, el amanecer proyecta la propia sombra de la montaña, un triangulo perfecto, sobre las nubes hacia el oeste, la razon por la que la mayoria viene. El templo en la cima hace sonar su campana por cada peregrino que lo alcanza.
Luego baja, lo que toma casi el mismo tiempo y duele mas, y la furgoneta le devuelve a Kandy durante la mañana.
Kandy fue la ultima capital de los reyes cingaleses, resistiendo a portugueses y holandeses hasta que los britanicos la tomaron en 1815, y el Templo de la Sagrada Reliquia del Diente junto al lago es la razon de su importancia: la reliquia, considerada un diente de Buda, es el objeto mas sagrado de la isla y su custodia legitimaba antiguamente la realeza. La camara de la reliquia abre para puja tres veces al dia, aproximadamente a las 5:30, 9:30 y 18:30, cuando comienzan los tambores y la fila pasa junto al relicario. La vestimenta cubre hombros y rodillas, los zapatos se quitan en la entrada, y el Esala Perahera en julio o agosto pasea el relicario sobre un elefante por la ciudad durante diez noches.

Opiniones de viajeros
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.
