Standing at 2,243 meters (7,359 ft), it is revered by Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, and Muslims alike due to the sacred footprint-shaped mark at its summit. Each year, thousands make the early morning pilgrimage to witness the magical sunrise and the famous “shadow of the peak” phenomenon cast across the valley. Whether you’re drawn by spiritual meaning, adventure, or breathtaking views, Adam’s Peak is a journey that touches the soul.
