Comment
Adam's Peak is one of the most important peaks on the island of Sri Lanka. Conical and 2243 m high, it is considered a holy site by Shiva Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims. Hindu pilgrims climb the thousands of steps leading up to the summit in order to reach it by sunrise and see the triangular shape of its shadow sweep across the surrounding countryside.The town of Ratnapura is renowned for its trade in precious and semi-precious stones. Its humid climate favors the formation of river beds: an ideal environment for gems.
