25,000 Steps on a Sacred Mountain Made me Emotional (Adam's Peak) 🇱🇰

- Sri Pada or Adam's Peak is a religious site in Sri Lanka. To reach the peak it takes 12,500 steep steps up (and back down) if you approach from Ratnapura. Thousands of Buddhists climb this peak daily to pray at the Sri Pada temple. While on my way up (and back) I saw people of all ages, from kids to 85 year olds. Some take a few days to reach and others do it in one day, like I did.

I love Srilanka people❤
Greeting from Indonesia🇮🇩
Thanks for tuning in! 😍
❤
Thank you very much my country Sri Lanka
Thanks guy.I'm from Sri Lanka
Terima kasih banyak
In Sri Lanka, we walk on the right side and drive on the left for safety reasons.
God bless you travel....❤
walk on the right side for safety reasons, but drive on the left side bcz of british influence
Supposed to be the same in UK according to the Highway Code
When you always walk on the right side, specially if there is no sidewalk, you can see vehicles coming to your front.because vehicles are always driving on the left. It’s a safe way rather than vehicles are coming from behind.
You can see vehicle front of your side.
you've tried that too? Lol me too. It was a freaking adventure right there. First it sounds like nothing. But once you climbed 500+ stairs you know the deal haha. The best part was the down hill. When I was coming down it felt someone's pulling me towards the ground. And it took so many hours for me to get down. I was emotional. But now what left is full of happy memories. Now I really wanna go again. But with my stuff I won't be able to visit Sri Lanka soon. But it's definitely in my wish list alongside with Maldives
Wow 🥺♥️
Yeah, insane experience but no regrets. My legs were sore for a week after it though 🤣
@@timtense LMFAO have you tried that massage center? That traditional one? I stopped by for a massage. Ngl it was hella comforting mate. My legs were shivering due to heavy load. But once I got it it reduced as a miracle
The natural scenery of Sri Lanka is really as beautiful as a fairyland, and the higher you climb, the more beautiful the scenery becomes, which is very meaningful!
There are Camino de Santiago in the West, but I didn’t expect that there are also pilgrimage route in the East, and the roads are more difficult to walk!
After listening to Abi’s explanation, I admired the pedestrians and local vendors even more!
And of course, including you, Tim, you are a kind-hearted warrior!
The simplicity, warmth and kindness of Sri Lankan people are really impressive, the smile of the lady at the end lit up the whole road!
Thank you so much for sharing such a sacred, beautiful day, you are a legend, super great job! 👍😍👏
Thanks for tuning in and leaving thoughtful comments as usual!
@@timtense It is my honor, thanks to you too! Take good care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
Lucky man, You had the chance to climb Great "Sri Pada"
It’s called Sri Pada ( Foot print of load Buddha placed top of the mountain) after England invade Sri Lanka 500 years ago. They placed a name as Adam’s peak. 😢❤
එන්ගලන්තෙ ආවෙ 1800 විතර. අවුරුදු 500 කට පෙර නොවේ. සමනල කන්ද මුදුනේ පිහිට් ගෞතම බුදුරජාණන්වහන්සේගේ ශ්රි පාදයට අපගේ නමස්කාරය වේවා.❤
That's because Christians and Muslims believe it to be the footprint of Prophet Adam, the first man on earth
Can you do a forensic and check how old it is? it's definitely more than 6000 years old mark.
"Hey Tim, there are 7+ trails to climb Sri Pada. You were climbing through one of the longest and oldest trail. The Hatton Nallathanni trail is the shortest one, and most foreigners are going through it."
I was staying in Ratnapura so I decided to approach from that side. It was a hard journey but I loved every kilometer of it!
@@timtense yes bro you have selected most beautiful trail♥️ Sad to say you have missed nice views due to mist. I have lot images captured in there If you interested I can send them to see the view♥️
From what I've heard, the most beautiful trail is Kuruvita route. Isn't it?
@@PasanArunajith Nope Daraniyagala Udamaliboda trail but it is not suited for Fournier thats why I didn’t mentioned that.
කොහෙද බං 7+ තියෙන්නේ. 3යි තියෙන්නේ. බොරු කියන්න එපා...
You are so lucky. Because you went Sri phada 🙏
Hi Tim, this pilgrimage is one of the oldest known traditions in Sri Lanka Buddhists which is older than 2500 years. It is so important that in early days people used to write the inheritance to rightful heirs and do this because their return was not guaranteed as the journey was so treacherous those days, evidently.
Aggala is a sweet and peppery delight which consumed more than 2500 years by Sri Lankans specially while they are travelling in Cold climates. The pepper gives a burning sensation and that activates the heating system of the body. That's basically a portable heating machine.
Ure exactly right bro👍👍
Actually the other route has about 5000 stairs to climb the Sri Pada [isolated] mountain but this route may contains twice of that. It's a sacred mountain in Sri Lanka famous for Lord Buddha's foot print of Buddhism. And the god who protects the mountain is called God "Saman" [ Saman Deviyo ]. AND FOR THOSE WHO CLIMBS : PLEASE DO NOT PUT GARBAGE ON SIDEWAYS. Thanks for visiting our country! #TimTense❤️.
#VisitSriLanka ❤🇱🇰
Well written 👏
You have to climb only 5000 steps when you take the path from Hatton. The path he took is from Rathanapura Palabaddala and it has more than twice of the steps that Hatton path has
@@edwardgraham3475 yes!
This route has more than 12,000 steps up
Tim,in 24:25 you saw the old path which people used to hike Sri paadha but now it's comfortable.right? My dad said in the past when people used that path(what u saw),they sold their staff like lands, houses,animals and almost everything because they were truly unsure about their life.(there had no stairs even)Some died on the way while the lucky ones reached the peak and realized their sacred belief in their life.❤ Every religion in Sri lanka has different believes about Adam's peak.We, Buddhists believe that's Lord Buddha's foot print.That's the story of Sri Paadha and that is the beauty of Sri Paadha.(Sri=sacred,paadha=leg)🙏🇱🇰
Thanks Tim for travelling in Sri Lanka & specially climbing" Sri pada" our sacred mountain.
Very proud of you man, love from 🇱🇰❤️
Thank you Tim 😊. for visiting and respecting.We also respect you for showing the places of our country to the world.good luck 🤞
In a road if u walking right side, vehicle driving left side.so vehicles are coming in front of u
But if vehicles drive right side , u walking right side vehicles are behind u so u should always turn around to see what's coming to your own safety✌️✌️❤
Correct 💯
In Srilanka vehicles are drive in left side that's why pedestrian work in right side....then they can see coming vehicles .....ur u programs amazing we like ....hope to see u in SL
It is not easy to climb sri pada even for sri lankans. You are a hero. I think you started it without knowing how much challenging it is
You are so lucky guy. This is one of the most sacred place of buddhist people. 😊
It's not Adams peak
It's Sri Padasthanaya.

Thanks for watching! ❤
You are the best❤❤❤❤❤
When you start climb Sri Paadhaya, no one will say that you can not do it. It is tradition to encourage people and blessing. Bringing "Aggla" is also unique tradition to keep energy while climbing.
love from sri lanka!! but please visit the Sri Pada again cuz u gotta see the "IRA SEWAYA" that means the sun rise from the top, i guarantee you it will be one of the most beautiful scenes you've ever seen,
Thank you for the video. You are doing a great service for our tourism.
Interesting vlog ❤🎉
Good person thankyou for comming our county🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤ your are first one find this gold.. ❤❤❤ no any TH-camrs did this
I learned one of the biggest lessons in my life when climbing that mountain. That is;
if we focus on finishing any task, it feels very big and harder to complete, and we feel disappointed. But if we just focus on what we are doing now and keep doing it without thinking of the result or the end, we won't feel much hardness and will be able to do it without realizing that we have already finished it.
In here, if we keep thinking about reaching the top of the mountain, we feel it's very hard and disappointing. But if we just focus on only the next step or a few steps ahead, we won't feel that much difficulty, and can reach to the top without even knowing it.
And it changed my life. ❤❤
You did it. Good luck🎉
Wow great to see you made it ❤️ 🇱🇰
Fantastisch uitzicht Tim👍👍💪
Tim you are very lucky you were able to go to Sripada ❤❤❤

That was great 👍
Love from 🇱🇰❤️
Amazing ❤❤❤
Nice video. I liked it .
Sri Paada pilgrimage has its own culture among buddhist sinhalese...You heard that people were chanting slogans..And you were offered Aggala..that pepered aggala is a part of Sri Paada pilgrimage culture..We have bunch of Sinhala words that we use only for this pilgrimage not in other places...Our Kings used to climb the mountain on this Rathnapura road..you are going through that path of Kings.Namo Buddhaya!!!
Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka ❤
Enjoyed your beautiful video. The way you gave the running commentary was impressive. Neither too much or too little.
Aggala,the last sweet ball you ate,has black pepper with the intention of making your body warm it’s said.
Thanks. Good luck Tim❤
