Walk through Sri Lanka’s tea country.
The Pekoe Trail is a network of 22 stages covering more than 300 km through Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands. With KANRA SL, you can experience a selected stage or combine stages into a private hiking journey shaped around your fitness, available time, interests, season and weather conditions.
Walk through tea estates, mountain paths, forests, villages and historic plantation landscapes while experiencing a quieter and more authentic side of Sri Lanka.
A different way to experience tea country.
The trail connects tea estates, mountains, forests and rural communities into a genuine walking experience.
One trail. Many ways to walk it.
The 22 stages range from Easy to Difficult, so we select the right section for your group rather than forcing one fixed itinerary.
