Sports and leisure activities Sri Lanka

Hiking. With its mountain range that runs through the center of the island from north to south, Sri Lanka offers beautiful hikes that are opportunities to enjoy the sumptuous scenery. The ascent of Sri Pada (Adam's Peak), the most sacred mountain, is done at night with Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist pilgrims. After 5,550 steps in the legs, the sun rising on "the tear of India" is worth all the rewards. Ella is another great hiking destination. Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak are among the most popular hikes in the area. Waterfalls and nature are the order of the day. And for those who prefer to walk at a more leisurely pace, walking along the railroad line that winds through the tea plantations offers an exotic and beautiful walk. Hiking in Sri Lanka requires a good physical condition, but no special skills. The highest peaks rise to a little over 2,000 meters. You just need to bring some appropriate clothing, including a good fleece for the ascent of Sri Pada
