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. Migel Cunat is Spanish by birth and he has been living in Sri Lanka since 2003. He has contributed immensely to the development of tourism of the country.
