   Adam's Peak is a tall, conical mountain popularly called Sri Pada, located in the southern reaches of the Central Highlands region of Sri Lanka. This mountain has significant spiritual importance to a number of world religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. Devotees of these religions undertake a pilgrimage to this mountain especially during the months of December to May. The mountain is named “Adam’s Peak” based on the belief that it is the first place where Adam, the first human according to Islamic and Christian belief, set foot on Earth after being banished from the Garden of Eden.
