Little Adam's Peak | Place to Hike & Camping in Sri Lanka

Little Adam's Peak or Punchi Sri Pada (Sinhala: ලිට්ල් ඇඩම්ස් පීක්/ පුංචි ශ්‍රී පාදය) is a pyramidal-shaped mountain located in Ella in Badulla District, Sri Lanka. The mountain is popular among local and foreign tourists as a great place for hiking and sightseeing.

Little Adam's Peak which rises to a height of 1,151 m (3776.24 ft.) above mean sea level gets its name from the Sacred Adam's Peak because this mountain replicates its shape in smaller form. The mountain can be hiked without a guide as there are signboards directing tourists to the right way. The hike takes approximately 30-45 minutes to reach the summit and the trail winds through tea plantations, paddy fields and forested areas. At the top of the mountain, a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, including the Ella Gap and Ella Rock can be seen.
