25,000 Steps on a Sacred Mountain Made me Emotional (Adam's Peak) 🇱🇰
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Sri Pada or Adam's Peak is a religious site in Sri Lanka. To reach the peak it takes 12,500 steep steps up (and back down) if you approach from Ratnapura. Thousands of Buddhists climb this peak daily to pray at the Sri Pada temple. While on my way up (and back) I saw people of all ages, from kids to 85 year olds. Some take a few days to reach and others do it in one day, like I did.

With my RUclips videos I aim to show a different perspective than what most travel vloggers would do by interacting with people and really getting the local insights of the places I visit. No matter their social background I treat everyone equal. Sometimes this results in awkard conversations but I love it!

I love Srilanka people❤
Greeting from Indonesia🇮🇩
Thanks for tuning in! 😍
❤
Thank you very much my country Sri Lanka
Thanks guy.I'm from Sri Lanka
Terima kasih banyak
Hi Tim, this pilgrimage is one of the oldest known traditions in Sri Lanka Buddhists which is older than 2500 years. It is so important that in early days people used to write the inheritance to rightful heirs and do this because their return was not guaranteed as the journey was so treacherous those days, evidently.
Aggala is a sweet and peppery delight which consumed more than 2500 years by Sri Lankans specially while they are travelling in Cold climates. The pepper gives a burning sensation and that activates the heating system of the body. That's basically a portable heating machine.
Ure exactly right bro👍👍
In a road if u walking right side, vehicle driving left side.so vehicles are coming in front of u
But if vehicles drive right side , u walking right side vehicles are behind u so u should always turn around to see what's coming to your own safety✌️✌️❤
Correct 💯
In Srilanka vehicles are drive in left side that's why pedestrian work in right side....then they can see coming vehicles .....ur u programs amazing we like ....hope to see u in SL
The natural scenery of Sri Lanka is really as beautiful as a fairyland, and the higher you climb, the more beautiful the scenery becomes, which is very meaningful!
There are Camino de Santiago in the West, but I didn’t expect that there are also pilgrimage route in the East, and the roads are more difficult to walk!
After listening to Abi’s explanation, I admired the pedestrians and local vendors even more!
And of course, including you, Tim, you are a kind-hearted warrior!
The simplicity, warmth and kindness of Sri Lankan people are really impressive, the smile of the lady at the end lit up the whole road!
Thank you so much for sharing such a sacred, beautiful day, you are a legend, super great job! 👍😍👏
Thanks for tuning in and leaving thoughtful comments as usual!
@@timtense It is my honor, thanks to you too! Take good care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
Mr Tim thanks for showing sripadaya to the world.Buddha bless you..and you wery lucky to see Buddha feet .. Respect and i do salute you..
Thanks Tim for travelling in Sri Lanka & specially climbing" Sri pada" our sacred mountain.
Very proud of you man, love from 🇱🇰❤️
Thanks Tim for your visits & contributions for promoting Sri Lanka tourism ❤
You are so lucky. Because you went Sri phada 🙏
வாழ்த்துக்கள் Tim. உங்கள் சிறப்பான பயணத்திற்கு.
Beautiful country ❤😊
I learned one of the biggest lessons in my life when climbing that mountain. That is;
if we focus on finishing any task, it feels very big and harder to complete, and we feel disappointed. But if we just focus on what we are doing now and keep doing it without thinking of the result or the end, we won't feel much hardness and will be able to do it without realizing that we have already finished it.
In here, if we keep thinking about reaching the top of the mountain, we feel it's very hard and disappointing. But if we just focus on only the next step or a few steps ahead, we won't feel that much difficulty, and can reach to the top without even knowing it.
And it changed my life. ❤❤
Me and my friends climbed this sacred route 10 years ago. It was the most spiritual experience I have had in my life. Nobody I talk to understands the monumental task it is to climb this route. Thank you for sharing this and reminding of this awesome part of my life
When you start climb Sri Paadhaya, no one will say that you can not do it. It is tradition to encourage people and blessing. Bringing "Aggla" is also unique tradition to keep energy while climbing.
Thanks bro coming for Sri lanka 🤍💫 so you very kind and help full. I appreciated your work. I think you very lucky traveler in this world. So Tim I watching your video. God blessed you 🤍💫
I am sri Lanka.. .. thank you for your video very nice support 👍🏼..hi
Thanks for watching! ❤
welcome to the Sri Lanka 🤝😍❤
Wow! Tim I became a legend again...Your videos are pretty amazing which makes me a legend all the time
Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it! ❤ #TrueLegendt
You have chosen the royal path to the peak (Rthnapura road), which was used by kings in the past. Great experience enjoy...
Welcome to Sri Lanka ❤️
Not Adams peak
CALLED
SRI PADAYA
what that guy is saying is ,there is a belief among some buddhists that buddha s foot print was located in 4 places in asia , one is sri padastan (which typically means the place of sacred foot) and there are 3 others in various places, swarnabhoomi
(thailand) , yonaka pura and one more
some believe yonaka pura means the place where meccah located now and they covered the footprint by a black box ,
some people think this yonaka pura was located in ghandar pakistan , so it doesnt have a exact place , its just beliefs of some individuals , Im not gonna fact check those
And we muslims and christians believe this sri lankan foot print is first prophet adams foot print
Thank you Tim 😊. for visiting and respecting.We also respect you for showing the places of our country to the world.good luck 🤞
Do it again on a clear day… it is out of this world.. view is to die for 😊
Sri Paada pilgrimage has its own culture among buddhist sinhalese...You heard that people were chanting slogans..And you were offered Aggala..that pepered aggala is a part of Sri Paada pilgrimage culture..We have bunch of Sinhala words that we use only for this pilgrimage not in other places...Our Kings used to climb the mountain on this Rathnapura road..you are going through that path of Kings.Namo Buddhaya!!!
Greatest religious place in sri lanka ❤ 🇱🇰
May lord Buddha bless you my dear❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed your beautiful video. The way you gave the running commentary was impressive. Neither too much or too little.
Aggala,the last sweet ball you ate,has black pepper with the intention of making your body warm it’s said.
Thanks. Good luck Tim❤
Uae we love Sri Lanka ❤❤😊
Thank you Tim. Visiting Sri Lanka. Nicely done
I eagerly watched how you were climbing the Sri Padha mountain which I have been to around 10 times.
I was actually surprised and blown away when you ate that spicy roti. You really have such a good spice tolerance. Loved every bit of your vlog. Thanks for sharing your experience, Tim.
Thank you 😋
Aggala is an unique food in this hiking.
Pepper keeps you warm in the cold &
Sweetness gives energy
This is an cultural food in Sri Paada hiking ❤❤❤
good on you sir. i also visited via same route just last week. so proud of your accomplishment.
driving in left and walking in right bcz of some reason bro,it reduce accidents while on road ,when walking we can see if vehicle comming to our side and we can get some action then....🙂otherwise we cant see when vehicle comming from back.
Thank you for coming to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 😊
Tim you are very lucky you were able to go to Sripada ❤❤❤
One of few strong souls who never give up...
Amazing work tim ❤
You are hero one of kind.

Welcome to tha sri Lanka ..hiii. .. verry nice support
Thank you tim visited my country. Come again❤❤
I will come back soon!
Sri lankan 🇱🇰 superb video good luck 🎉
thank you guys
Magical fact:Visit maskeliya srilanka and just see etc.... 🇱🇰💗
It is ironical to see that foreigners are treated in Asian countries like celebrities. Almost everyone wants to take a picture with them.
Colonization,Mainstream media,so on and so forth....
Yeah I still don't get it honestly 🤣
They like white people. 😅
Who's here for "if you are still watching you're a legend! Legeeennddd!!! Love it ❤
We took the shorter route. Set out at 11.30pm, got to top around 8am. Got back to bottom around 5pm 😆 we must have set the record for the longest climb in recent history. It was pouring for the last 3 hours or so. The view was incredible at the top and it was the most amazing view I’d ever seen. A bit like looking from a plane but even better as so detailed. Seeing the sun rise above the clouds was surreal. And hardly anyone there as it was Sri Lankan new years. In the olden days, people used to write their will before setting off as they didn’t know if they will make it back. They used to climb for days as there were hardly any steps and no hand rails. Interesting fact: the shadow of the mountain is seen on the clouds instead of on the ground as it usually would be. Someone who went with us but got up to the top before sunrise videoed it for us to see.
Thank you to come sivanolipaatha malai ❤❤❤
Hi Tim,
This is really nice.
Great job.
Respect for you !! There is a saying that "Any one who hasn't Climbed "Sri Pada ia a fool and who visited more than once is also a fool " Mate you have taken the hardest route. Lot of respect for you Tim .
Definitely one of the hardest hikes I have endured but the most rewarding!
Actually Mr. Tim, in the ancient times, the ascending of the Sri Paada Mountain was a difficult task and what I have heard is people had to climb using chains and other unsafe methods. So maybe what you have read is not totally wrong.😊😊😊
BTW, greetings to you as a Sri Lankan.
Hi Tim ❤❤ Nice video 😊❤
Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it! ❤ #TrueLegendt
Fantastisch uitzicht Tim👍👍💪
You did it..very happy Tim.you ara lucky guy..❤😊
Yes, thank you
🙏🙏🙏🙏 SIRIPADEYA 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice video.stay blessed buddy.
Walking in the right is the law here. Also I think it make sense for road passengers to use right. Since Vehicles are coming from Left. U can see the vehicles that coming to you.
30:55 I just went to the temple today. And I have a clear view of here. Will try to share it through my video
Have a safe journey bro..
You climbed the sacred sripada mountain. Now you're a true legend tim 😊
Thanks for the support! ❤😎 #TrueLegendt
Early morning view should be seen😊 anyway interesting journey
My motherland is the heaven on the earth ☺️🤗❤️❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Things are very expensive when go high up the Adam’s peak. Because it’s hard to find ingredients to make food items for restaurants.
Best vedio from your vedios
Thank you so much 😀
Sri lankan road rules are same to UK.Walking side is right side and driving side is left side.
Thank you tim ❤ god bless you
Congrats, you made it. It's really difficult.
You are the best❤❤❤❤❤
May the blessings of triple gem and god saman be with you 🙏
hi tim you are an amazing traveler. as a sri lankan Let me explain why sril Lankans are walking the opposite side from we drive. When you walk the opposite side from you drive you can clearly see what is coming from your front. If you walk to the same side you drive you can’t see what is coming from your behind spesialy in the roads, that is the reason why used to do that .i believe it is a good practice.
Guys, just for your information, In Saudi Arabia Makkah there is a normal size pair of footprints of Prophet Abraham who renovated/built the 1st mosque in the world ❤( the black box which is called Kahbathulla ).
you can even see colombo skyline at the dawn with clear sky from there
Well done brother. God bless you
We drive on left and walking on the right-hand side. The reason behind that is you can see the in coming traffic from your front for the safety.
Hi tim i like your all videos ❤
Theruwansaranai!!!🇱🇰🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
Our country ❤
When you walk right on the road.. The vehicles coming same side towards to you. So you can easily see without looking back.
If you walk left. Since there arent pedestrian/ side walk path in many roads and narrow roads. You have to look back. So I think its the reason.
same is following stairs too
Thanks a lot dear.... for visiting my country Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My pleasure! Thanks for the support!
@@timtense .. who did support you ....? no..no...my dear I think that you support my country .❤❤❤.not only you but also other foreigners who come to visit my motherland srilanka support to raise again .As you know now we are very poor country due to silly politicians .any way..again I need to thank you for visiting us...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Ratnapura route is longer but the ascent is less steeper. Plus it has less people and more scenic. On the other hand the Nallathanni rout is shorter but the ascent is steeper and it has more traffic.
Well come to the Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤good job 👍👏
I love Sri Lanka. I really happy visitors come to Sri Lanka and having a cultures and religious thing as a Sri Lankan. so I'm really proud of my country. monkeys are funny
Happy to see mr tim❤❤
Tim This is the answer to your question about walking right hand side. " walking on the side of the road closest to oncoming traffic gives you the best chance of noticing an oncoming car. When you can both see and hear the oncoming car in the lane closest to you, you are able to judge the car's direction and speed more efficiently."
Mr. Tim I don’t know what faith you are but please let me say
May lord Buddha bless you and keep you safe
Hope you had a pleasant holiday and please come back.
Theruwan saranaai 🙏
Aggala ❤ sri padas people's lovely food
