The hike up Adam’s Peak was brutal.
Still ill, I wanted to get the hike in and
get out of the tiny village.
Adam’s Peak
is a pilgrimage site for many Buddhists who journey to the top to see a print
in the ground, allegedly made by Buddha or their other regionally accepted god
who’s name escapes me right now.
The
traffic on the mountain is huge.
There
are over 5,000 steps from bottom to top, paved the whole way, and lined with shops
selling munchies, tea and various trinkets and trash.
The idea is to leave around 2 or 3 in the morning and then
hit the summit at sunrise. The shadow
cast by the mountain is not the shape of the mountain, supposedly. My hike would be covered in rain and
clouds. No sunrise. The views at the top were spectacular
though.
