Climbing Adam's Peak
The pilgrimage season runs from about December to May. The climb has more than 5,000 steps to a summit of 2,243 metres, and most people start around 2 am from Dalhousie to reach the top for sunrise. Allow four to six hours up. A bungalow night before and after makes the climb much easier.
