We’re headed to the Temple of Tooth. Sound familiar? It’s likely. To Buddhists, The Sacred Tooth Relic is an object of veneration, and the temple it is housed by, is said to be one of the most sacred places in the world. Oozing with rich and wonderful history, the Relic itself is said to have been treasured by generations of Kings as a symbol of power. It is a traditional belief that, whoever acquires the Tooth Relic, ruler or invader, possesses the might to rule. 

After all that exploring, It’s time to sit down for some lunch at a local restaurant. Be sure to try something you’ve never had before, as the local cuisine here in Sri Lanka is amazing!

After an early and nutritious dinner, it’s time to make some ground. We set off to climb Adam's Peak tonight, and we will reach the summit in time to take in a stunning sunrise together. Though not the highest mountain in Sri Lanka, the striking pyramid of Adam's Peak (2,243m) is certainly the most remarkable! An impression in the rocky summit resembles a huge footprint, which has been looked upon as a sacred sight from remote antiquity.

Once at the summit, stop to take in the outlook of the nearby tea plantations and brilliant plains below. 

Stopping for some well-earnt lunch at a nearby restaurant, enjoy this short break as the journey continues soon after.

During our trip today, we take a charming drive through the verdant green hills of the tea country to visit the Diyaluma Waterfall, the second highest waterfall in Sri Lanka. Not just your casual drive ‘from A to B’, this journey is a visual feast. 

Once we reach Diyaluma, we begin on foot and meander through a nearby trail that leads through the hills to the top of the falls*. Hold your breath in amazement as the waterfall cascades a shimmering 220 metres down a sheer, steep cliff. Cool off by taking a dip in one of the refreshing natural rock pools and gaze out to the scenic, rainforest below. This is a perfect vantage point to take in the beauty of the tea country. 

Feeling invigorated after our waterfall adventure, it’s time to set off for Udawalawe. Here ends the trekking portion of our trip.
