Adam's Peak

1.Hatton – Nallathanni route is the most popular trail to the summit of Sri Pada or Adam’s peak. This trail is the shortest amongst the conventional trails leading to Sripada. Not only it is short, it is also the trail that starts off from the highest elevation which makes it the trail with lowest elevation gain

2.Kuruwita – Erathna trail to Sri Pada is the third most popular trail leading to Adam’s peak. This trail is much difficult to tackle than the most popular Hatton-Nallathanni route.

While this trail is about 3km longer than the second most popular Rathnapura – Palabathgala route, the trail conditions and the surrounding environment is very much similar to the Palabathgala trail. In fact these two trails meet 2km before the summit

3.This trail goes through the evergreen rain forest of the peak wilderness sanctuary and it is closer with the nature compared to the popular Hatton – Maskeliya route to Adam’s peak. Low land vegetation (tall trees – thick canopy) covers the trail at the beginning and vegetation gradually transforms to a mountain cloud forest (shorter, more heavily stemmed, moss covered trees) towards the trail end. Peak wilderness sanctuary is among the best areas for birds and butterflies in Sri Lanka as well
