Accepted Answer

Yes, April is notoriously the most crowded month to hike Adams Peak. Because it coincides with the Sri Lankan New Year and school holidays, tens of thousands of local pilgrims make the journey.

If you must visit in April, try to climb on a weekday rather than a weekend or a Poya full moon day, which are exponentially busier and more exhausting.

The crowds can get so massive that you might find yourself stuck in a complete standstill on the final set of stairs for hours, completely missing the actual sunrise from the summit.
