I was looking for a way to climb Adams Peak from Kandy and I booked this activity. I must say that it exceeded all my expectations. The organisation is perfect and the driver Imran took care of every detail. The experience is truly unique and unforgettable, especially in the season when locals go on pilgrimage to the temple. Definitely recommended.
