The Pekoe Trail is the latest addition to a worldwide collection of long-distance walking trails that is destined to be a future classic and bucket list essential. Spanning more than 300km in total, the trail winds its way through a diversity of landscapes in Sri Lanka's verdant central highlands taking in historic hill towns, manicured tea plantations, remote villages, sacred places, magnificent viewpoints and historical locations.

Not only is the trail wonderfully scenic and culturally fascinating, it also aims to encourage a more sustainable traveller experience, and to help bring economic opportunity to rural communities who have traditionally been off the tourist map.

For those who don't have the time or energy to tackle the Pekoe Trail in its entirety, Mountain Kingdoms, the walking holiday experts, have carefully curated the best of its 22 bite-size stages to create a more manageable 16 day adventure. The journey begins in bustling Kandy and ends at picturesque Ella with memorable highlights every day. These include the colonial era hill town of Nuwara Eliya, Horton Plains National Park, Ramboda Falls, Nine Arches Bridge, a tour of an historic tea estate, and the breathtaking viewpoints of World's End and Ella Gap.

Accompanied by an experienced local guide, walking days are between 8 and 11 miles long with overnight accommodation in a variety of small hotels, lodges and original bungalows, all chosen for their charm and location within easy travelling distance of the trail.
