Tea at 4am


"Climbing Adam's Peak is an important pilgrimage for many Sri Lankans. We started climbing the trail at around 1am and reached the summit in time for the sunrise at 6am. Along the way there are dozens of little shops and shelters just like this one where pilgrims stop for hot, sweet tea". Taken by Daria
