Pekoe Trail is a 300+km-curated long-distance walking trail through the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka, which traverses the vast network of tea trails that make up the Sri Lankan Tea Country.
The 22-stage walking trail takes you through some of the finest ecology and mountain terrain in South Asia as you begin your journey in Kandy and make your way to Nuwara Eliya, passing through Haputale, Hatton and Ella. This interconnecting trail network will enable visitors to discover varying terrain, history, culture, food and local community on foot in short sections, or as part of a multi-day experience.
Here's the Stage 1 from Hantana to Galaha. Total length is 12.8km (7.96 miles).

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.
I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.
* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.
* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travelers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..
* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.

Thank you so much for uploading very informative
You're welcome
Thank you for putting together such a great video and account of Stage 1...
Thx a lot. Pekoe Trail is such a great concept and an initiation. Something which has been lacking in Sri Lanka for a very long time. So I wanted to help promote it, at least by a little. BTW - Managed to do the Stage 2 as well. Trying to publish that video in the coming weeks.
Very pretty video. Enjoyed it full. Your commentary in English is the best.
Hope to see the other stages of this trail.
Thanks
Really helpful. Thank you so much. One thing I would really appreciate is a list of accommodation near the stage trail heads. Thanks so much if you have suggestions particularly for the first five or six stages.
Thanks Nick - As for Stage 1, you can find a lot of options through Booking at the trail head or even in Kandy. If you are looking for a option towards the end, try "Dunali Mountains (075 7709244 / 076 2279116)". So far I've done up to Stage 7 and accommodation options were somewhat hard to find closer to the trail end. However, there are new places coming up.
Wow Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤sundata
Thx
Perth Australia....Thanks for a super live clip from.....Sri Lanka
Glad you liked it - Thanks
Nice work .. One of my dream those days .. Traveling to tea estates and cover all the estate to discover the history of tea..❤❤ Its really happy to watch your vedio with detail explanation ... All the best. From Melbourne
Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoyed it
Got to know that this trail is named as one of the world beautiful 20 trails. That's why i searched and abled to watch your vedio. You have done an excellent vedio with an excellent information. Best wishes for yur future trails and looking forward to see them. I was used to read your reports in lakdasun and for planning our family trips it was very useful. What happened to lakdasun?
Thanks for the comment. Lakdasun was abruptly stopped due to lack of admins at the time. Heard there are plans to resurrect it but not sure if and when it'll happen.
Glad to hear. Tks
Very informative .
Feel like walking with you when watching the video
Looking forward to see all 22 stages
Good luck 🎉
Awesome! Thank you!
Was looking for details of each trail and found this gem. Very informative. Keep going.
Glad it was helpful!
nice video, ive also gone on 3 strages of the pekoe trail but not this one, pls make more videos like this
Thx
tkz bro
Wait for next stage ❤
Very informative..!
Thx
❤❤
Great Video! is it possible to cycle through this trail? all the way to the end of stage one?
Thanks. Cycling is a bit tricky at the start as it's a tiny and difficult footpath. But it's not that long - less than 500m. If you can manage that bit, shouldn't be an issue to tackle the rest.
Supiri ❤
Thx
Is there parking facility at starting point
There is but not sure if it'll be safe enough to leave it for longer periods
හන්තාන සිට ගලහට බයික් එකක් යන්න පුලුවන්ද
මුල ඉඳන් බෑ හැබැයි 400-500m විතර ගියාම දිගටම වතු පාරවල් තියෙන්නේ
And you forget to tell the name of the beautiful temple you mentioed. What's the name of it
If it's the first one, then it's Sandagiri Maha Viharaya
Tks
Sir. Sri have you covered the full trail.
Not yet - Just 1 and 2
@SriAbeywickrema thank you Sir, let's do the other stages also so the world will see it.
I hope to do the solo hiking is that OK do ?
Yes you can do solo without any issues
Where is the start location of the trail? Is it Hanthana ?
Hanthana Tea Museum
no wonder where is all the money has gone.
පීකෝද ? පෙකෝද 🤔
ප්රශ්නයක් තමයි - ගොඩක් ඩික්ශනරි වල තියෙන්නේ "පීකෝ" හැබැයි ටී ට්රේඩ් එකේ අය කියන්නේ "පෙකෝ" කියලා. ඕක Stage 3 දී පැහැදිලි කරන්න තමයි ඉන්නේ
විස්තර කරන්න සිංහල භාශාවත් ඇතුලත් කරානම් හොදයි අනෙක් අදියරවලදිවත් ලංකවේ දේශීය සන්චාරකයන්ටත් පහසුවක් වෙයි මේ pekoe ට්රේල් එක ගැන.
භාෂා දෙක මිශ්ර කලාම දෙගොල්ලන්ටම වැඩක් නොවෙන්න පුළුවන්. ඊළඟ පාර ගියොත් සිංහලෙන් කරන්නන්
English වලින්ම කරගෙන යන එක හොඳයි. ඉස්සරහට හොඳ value එකක් ලැබෙයි channel එකට. Pekoe trails ටිකත් දිගටම කරගෙන යන්න bro. නියම වැඩක් 🔥
