Inside the Adam's Peak Journey
The pilgrimage up Adam's Peak begins before midnight, tracing illuminated steps under crystal-clear skies. DM Tours staggers departures to avoid crowds, provides warm layers, and arranges recovery breakfasts at nearby boutique hotels.
What to Expect
- 2:00 AM trailhead arrival with tea break.
- Guided ascent with cultural storytelling.

- Pack electrolytes and organic snacks provided by DM Tours.
