Hiking and peaks

Adam's Peak at night, Ella at dawn, Horton Plains before the cloud.

The hill country walks best between January and March. Adam's Peak is climbed overnight in pilgrimage season to reach the summit for sunrise; Horton Plains is a three-hour loop to a cliff that drops 870 metres; Little Adam's Peak above Ella takes an hour and gives you the same light for a fraction of the effort. Knuckles Range treks run one to three days with village stays.
