Adam’s Peak, commonly known as "Sri Pada (holy footprint)" to all Sri Lankans is a 2,243m (7,359 ft) mountain in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Adams peak is a very important pilgrimage site that draws the attention of Buddhists, Hinduism muslims and christians, most of them attributing ownership of the footprint found on the summit. According to legend, Buddhists claim the footprint to be that of the Buddha. Hindus believe the footprint belongs to Lord Shiva and Christians consider  the footprint to be that of the biblical Adam who was exiled from the garden of Eden. Muslims consider Sri Lanka as the original garden of Eden and that Adam set foot on this summit. ​
Kandy - Sri Lanka's hill capital. Once a stronghold of the Sinhala Kings, is a very beautiful town. It is 488 meters above sea level and next to Colombo is Sri Lanka's most visited place.
