Sacred footprint summit climbed through lantern-lit forests
Adam's Peak's summit shelters a sacred footprint—believed by Muslims to be Muhammad's, by Buddhists to be Buddha's, by Hindus to be Shiva's—making this 2,243-meter mountain a place where South Asian faiths converge in shared veneration. The lantern-lit nighttime climb becomes a processional meditation shared by thousands annually.
