The island's fourth highest peak at 2243 meters, Sri Pada, also known as Adam's Peak, has been a pilgrimage site for more than 1000 years. Legend has it that the mountain features a footprint originally made by the Buddha on his third visit to the island. Some Christians believe it may be the spot where Adam first set foot on earth after he was banished from the Garden of Eden. Others claim it to be the footprint of St. Thomas, the Apostle. Hindus believe it to be Lord Shiva's footprint.

The most of the climbers arrive in the summit at night to witness the magical sunrise from the summit by the dawn. The pilgrimage season runs from Unduwappoya (Full Moon Day of December) to Wesakpoya Festival (in May). At this time, there is a constant stream of pilgrims and the top can get very crowded, and especially from January to February. The narrow way up to the summit is well developed and safe.

Groups of purple faced leaf monkeys can be seen playing on the trees while white-bellied sea eagles soar above the water looking for a midday meal. At the base of the cliff and beneath the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean are coral and rocky reefs which are home to a number of sea life. Although the reef has been negatively affected over the last decade due to both human and environmental factors, it still provides interesting place to snorkel for those who care to don a snorkeling mask and fins and venture out to explore the underwater world. The entire Rumassala area, including both the forest and coral reefs, are now protected as a sanctuary.
