10 latest experiences http://www.hereorthere.com/members/agentb en-us The most vivid memory from my adventures in Sri Lanka is the trip to Adam’s peak. The 2243 metre peak, also known as Samanalakanda (Butterfly Mountain), has multi-denominational religious significance and the walk up has served as a pilgrimage for over 1000 years. Buddhists call it the peak of Sri Pada (Sacred Footprint), as they believe an indentation on the summit is the footprint of Buddha. Hindus think this crater is the mark of Shiva, Muslims that of Adam, and some Christians believe the indentations were caused when Christ's Apostle, St. Thomas, prayed at the peak. But enough of all that; I'd heard the views from the top boasted the most humbling of Sri Lanka’s hill country, so off I went.
