The pilgrimage route takes you through thousands of ancient steps, illuminated by strings of lights, creating a magical atmosphere as you ascend through the cool mountain air.
Join pilgrims and adventurers from around the world on this unforgettable trek.

Absolutely incredible experience! The sunrise from the peak was breathtaking. Our driver from Best SriTaxis was punctual and very knowledgeable. The climb is challenging but so worth it. Highly recommend!
One of the highlights of my Sri Lanka trip. The triangular shadow was mesmerizing. The transportation was comfortable and the timing was perfect. Make sure to bring warm clothes - it gets cold at the top!
Magical experience climbing under the stars. The spiritual atmosphere at the summit was profound. Best SriTaxis provided excellent service from start to finish. This is a must-do in Sri Lanka!
