“The experience was excellent from start to finish. The driver, Ahamed, provided a safe and smooth transfer, was punctual, and very attentive to my needs. The guide, Priyantha, was knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the places we visited. He was especially helpful in finding the best spots to watch the sunrise. While the activity is a bit physically challenging, it is absolutely worth the effort. I highly recommend this tour!”

3.Summit Bliss, Adams Peak Guided Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 8 reviews · 13 hours · from $100

Leave Nuwara Eliya at 9 pm for a private night hike up Adam’s Peak. Your English-speaking guide leads the climb to the 2,243m summit for sunrise, with hotel transfers, water, refreshments, breakfast, and a private vehicle included. Driver Zoysaravi has earned praise for safe driving and helpful local insight.

“We arrived in the middle of the night to a hotel, where they suddenly charged us 5.000 rps for staying there - even though we did not have a choice, cause the driver just left us there. It was very unpleasant and wierd. Also the description of the tour says that everythign is included, but we also ended up paying for the tea on the Way up. The guide was suppose to speak english - he was very kind, but his english was lacking, so he mostly just guided us, and was not able to tell the story about Adams peak.”

“Wir wurden um 22:30 Uhr am Hotel abgeholt. Kurz nach 01:00 Uhr starteten wir den Aufstieg mit unserem Guide. Dank ihm hatten wir den besten Platz, um den Sonnenaufgang zu sehen. Der Sonnenaufgang am Adams Peak ist der Wahnsinn und jede einzelne Stufe die zu steigen ist definitiv wert! Danke für dieses wunderbare Erlebnis!”
