club in Asia to get Royal Appellation. The other clubs situated in
the tranquillity of the hill country are the Nuwara Elia Golf Club,
and the Victoria Golf Club in Digana near Kandy. All of these are

Adam's
Peak
Many begin the arduous 5 mile climb to the misty mountain top, also
known as "Sri Pada" (sacred footprint), around midnight.
They reach the 2,238 meter high peak, the Island's fourth highest,
at dawn to witness a glorious sunrise and mountain shadow, cast by
the rising sun onto the clouds. The mountain is sacred to four religions
Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. For the Buddhists, the
imprint on the summit of the mountain is the hallowed footprint of
lord Buddha (Sri Pada). The Hindus believe that the footprint is that
of God Shiva. Christians consider it the sanctified footprint of Adam
and hence the title "Adam's Peak" |
