What is Pekoe Trail?

The Pekoe Trail is a 300 km (186.4 mile) trekking route from the Hanthana Mountains near Kandy to the hill station of Nuwara Eliya.On the way, you’ll pass through the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka across a variety of landscapes

The route takes its name from the numerous tea estates it passes through, their undulating hills carpeted in emerald-coloured tea plants.

The trail is the brainchild of adventurer and trail extraordinaire Miguel Cunat, who spent many years hiking in the central highlands of Sri Lanka designing The Pekoe Trail.

As human beings it is natural that we try to find a meaning behind most things we do. Our holidays and travel are not that different as well. We travel to another country for our holidays and to get away from the cold winter, we do not come back in that same state of mind. We come back have found a meaning behind our travel. Pekoe trail is the perfect place to start finding that meaning behind a holiday spent in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. It’s not just a three weeks walk, but a journey through untouched nature and local life that touches your heart.
