Discover the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Sri Lanka on a full-day guided hike through the Hantana Mountain Range, following a scenic section of the renowned Pekoe Trail.
Your experience begins in the cool morning air at the foothills of Hantana, just outside Kandy, where you meet your knowledgeable local guide and receive a brief introduction to the day’s journey. As the hike begins, the trail gently winds through rolling tea plantations, offering sweeping views of emerald-green slopes and an insight into Sri Lanka’s historic tea industry. You’ll pass tea pluckers at work and learn how this region became a cornerstone of the country’s colonial-era heritage.
Continuing deeper into the mountains, the landscape gradually changes from manicured estates to natural forest. The path leads through grasslands, shaded woodland, and rocky ridgelines, with frequent panoramic viewpoints overlooking Kandy, the Mahaweli River, and distant mountain ranges. Along the way, your guide shares stories about local villages, traditional lifestyles, and the biodiversity of the Hantana range, pointing out native plants, birds, and occasional wildlife.
Midday, you’ll take a well-earned break to rest, enjoy refreshments or a packed lunch, and soak in the peaceful surroundings. The hike then continues along the Pekoe Trail, combining moderate ascents with gentle descents that keep the walk engaging but accessible. By the end of the day, you’ll descend back toward the trailhead, carrying unforgettable memories of dramatic scenery, cultural encounters, and one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic hiking routes.
