Activity Overview

Step beyond the usual tourist trail and discover Sri Lanka on foot.
Stretching approximately 300+ kilometres across 22 stages, the Pekoe Trail takes
you deep into the spectacular Central Highlands — through emerald tea plantations,
misty mountains, ancient forests, peaceful villages and breathtaking valleys.
But the Pekoe Trail is more than a hiking route. It is a journey through the living
heart of Sri Lanka.
As you walk from one stage to another, you encounter tea-growing communities,
meet local people, discover their traditions and experience the warmth and
hospitality of life in the highlands. Every section of the trail offers something different
— from dramatic mountain views and quiet forest paths to fascinating cultural
encounters and the timeless landscapes of Sri Lanka’s tea country.
Adventure. Nature. Culture. Connection.
Whether you are looking for a single-day hiking experience or want to explore
several stages as part of a longer Sri Lankan adventure, the Pekoe Trail offers an
unforgettable way to experience the island away from the crowds.
With its combination of spectacular scenery, authentic local experiences and
rewarding walking, it has become one of Sri Lanka’s most exciting experiences for
hikers, walkers, nature lovers and adventure travellers.
Walk Through the Heart of Sri Lanka. Meet the people. Discover the real Sri
Lanka.
