However if you climb Adam's Peak at any other time you will need a headlamp as there are no lights and the route is completely dark. Dress in layers – it’s going to be cold if you set out at an early hour so you’ll need a layer of clothing to tempt you out of bed until you warm up (which happens quickly). You may appreciate your layers again when you reach the top and wait for the sun to rise. But when the Sri Lankan sunshine hits you'll be ready to take it off in a heartbeat! As you can see – layering is key to your comfort! Cash – for snack donations cameras – of course! Sunscreen Hat Glasses – You’ll feel relaxed on the way back. Snacks and water! !

Adams Peak, Sri Lanka Adams Peak, Sri Lanka My honest opinion on this adventure? I like it very much. It was a real physical challenge (we worked really hard on the climb) but also a mental challenge to stand still among the locals as we queued for the summit-hour. The Sri Pada trekking really encouraged us to enjoy the journey rather than focusing on the destination. We surrendered to the thousands of people who accompanied us and bathed in the laughter and songs of the families lining up next to us, all trying to pass the time.
It's so humbling to see - year olds walking and to see families truly united holding each other's hands and holding each other smiling on top of the mountain. If you are used to climbing mountains the top itself is not what you think it is a sacred place so there are wires and railings all around making it difficult to see the view. Another reason to enjoy the journey rather than focusing on the destination. The best views are right on the road!
