All-Inclusive Adam's Peak Guided Night Hike from Kandy
Description complète
Adam's Peak est un cone de 2 243 metres au milieu d'un sanctuaire sauvage de 224 kilometres carres, et il est sacre pour quatre religions a la fois. Les bouddhistes considerent que la depression au sommet est l'empreinte du pied du Bouddha, les hindous celle de Shiva, les musulmans et les chretiens celle d'Adam, c'est pourquoi la saison de pelerinage voit des dizaines de milliers de personnes sur le meme escalier.
L'ascension se fait de nuit, et pas pour le spectacle. Ce sont environ 5 500 marches sur sept kilometres, et la faire en plein jour sous les tropiques serait brutal; la faire entre 2h et 5h du matin est simplement difficile. Le chemin est eclaire et borde d'echoppes de the pendant la saison de decembre a mai, et durant cette periode c'est une veritable experience communautaire, des familles, des moines, des pelerins ages la faisant pieds nus.
Vous atteignez le sommet avant l'aube. Par temps clair, le lever du soleil projette l'ombre de la montagne elle-meme, un triangle parfait, a travers les nuages vers l'ouest, la raison pour laquelle la plupart des gens viennent. Le temple au sommet sonne sa cloche pour chaque pelerin qui l'a atteint.
Puis vous descendez, ce qui prend a peu pres aussi longtemps et fait plus mal, et le van vous ramene a Kandy pendant la matinee.
Kandy fut la derniere capitale des rois cinghalais, resistant aux Portugais et aux Hollandais jusqu'a ce que les Britanniques la prennent en 1815, et le Temple de la Sainte Dent Relique sur le lac explique son importance: la relique, consideree comme une dent du Bouddha, est l'objet le plus sacre de l'ile et sa garde legitimait autrefois la royaute. La chambre de la relique ouvre pour le puja trois fois par jour, vers 5h30, 9h30 et 18h30, quand les tambours commencent et que la file avance devant le reliquaire. La tenue couvre epaules et genoux, les chaussures se retirent a l'entree, et l'Esala Perahera en juillet ou aout fait parader le reliquaire sur un elephant a travers la ville pendant dix nuits.

Avis des voyageurs
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.
