The Pekoe Trail
The newest jewel for trekkers: a long-distance trail snaking through tea country, walked a stage or a week at a time.
Trekking tours
Sri Lankaon foot.
From the Pekoe Trail through the tea-growing highlands to the dry-zone plains and the summit of Adam’s Peak: treks tailored from gentle half-day walks to ten-day challenges.

So varied,
so compact.
It is the sheer diversity of terrain, climate and ecology, and the richness of village culture, that make Sri Lanka a truly irresistible place to trek.
A seven-day trek can take in the surprisingly lush plains of the dry zone, the mountain forests of the central hills at 6,000 feet, tea plantations and cascading waterfalls, the cloud forest of Horton Plains, summits such as Adam’s Peak, tropical rainforest, and the coconut groves and rubber plantations of the coastal plains.
We tailor every itinerary to the preferences and fitness of your group, whether that is a ten-day trekking challenge or a soft adventure with a few half-day walks.
