Best month to climb Sri Pada for sunrise?

The best months to climb Sri Pada (Adam’s Peak) for clear sunrise views are February and March, as they have the driest weather and the least chance of early morning mist. The official pilgrimage stretch runs from Unduvap Poya (December) to Vesak Poya (May).

In February and March, the skies are usually free of the heavy rain and thick fog that can hide the summit in the off-season. Still, if you want to dodge big queues, try to start the hike on a weekday rather than on weekends or full moon (Poya) days, when thousands of local pilgrims go up.
