Visit to Sri Pada (Adam's Peak)

This holy mountain is known by many names, including Samantakuta, Samanhela, Samanalakanda, and Samanalagira.

The striking pyramid of Adam's Peak 2,243 m (7,360 ft) is without a doubt the most impressive. A crater in the rocky summit resembles a massive footprint, which has long been revered as a sacred symbol. Buddhists identified it as the Buddha's footprint, Hindus as Shiva's, and Muslims as Adam's. It was later attributed to St. Thomas the Apostle by the Portuguese.

The Mahawamsa recounts how, on Load Buddha's third visit to Lanka, the departing Load Buddha imprinted the sacred footprint, but the site did not become a regular Buddhist pilgrimage site until the Polonnaruwa period when Vijayabahu I built pilgrim resting houses and King Nissankamalla himself climbed to the top and worshipped the spot in 1201.
