The travel coordinators
Our travel coordinators are chosen because they are people like you. Not only are they the best travel buddy you could hope for, but they're trained professionals guaranteed to show you a travel experience like never before
From mid-May to late November, the Adam's Peak hike is off-season. Given windy and cloudy conditions it is often not possible to see the mountain. During these months the itinerary for days 6-8 will vary. Day 6 will be spent in Nuwara Eliya and day 7 and 8 will be spent in Ella. Your Travel Coordinator will have stellar activity options for your group to choose from!
