Sri Padaya is probably the most worshiped and sacred mountain in the world. This is located in Sri Lanka bordering Sabaragamuwa and Central Provinces in the districts of Ratnapura and Nuwara Eliya.

This is also known as Adam's Peak and is a 2,243 m (7,359 ft) tall conical mountain located in central Sri Lanka. It is well known for the Sri Pada, i.e., "sacred footprint", a 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) rock formation near the summit, which in Buddhist tradition is held to be the footprint of the Lord Buddha.

This time, like the last time via Hatton-Nallathanni Trail, we were able to summit the Sri Pada. However we were luckier this time coz God Saman treated us with the best of the weather Sri Pada had seen in the recent past. I wonder if he felt sad about making our previous journeys difficult and miserable.

It was a royal blue sky right throughout with scattered fluffy clouds. So enjoy this journey and behold the magic of Sri Pada Mountain.

There are 3 Prominent and 3 Less Prominent and 2 Extremely Rare Paths in existence to climb Sri Pada and worship Lord Buddha's Footprint.

1. Hatton-Nallathanni Trail
2. Rathnapura-Sri Palabaddala Trail
3. Kuruwita-Erathna Adawikanda Trail
4. Moray Estate-Sandagalathenna Trail
5. Deraniyagala-Uda Maliboda Dikellakanda Trail
6. Mukkuwaththa-Dehenakanda Trail
7. Fishing Hut-Paradise Trail
8. Fishing Hut-Waterfall Trail are the trails in existence in the order of popularity.

Special Note for the Viewers:

I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.

I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:

* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.

* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.

* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.

* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.

* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.

* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travellers.

* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.

* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..

* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.

* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.
