描述
Follow a 2-day guided trek along the Pekoe Trail from Kandy, through the Hanthana Tea Estate and past the Ceylon Tea Museum, ending at Loolkandura, where Sri Lanka's tea industry began.
Begin your 2-day trek with a pickup from your hotel in Kandy and a short drive to the Ceylon Tea Museum on the historic Hanthana Estate, housed inside the former Hanthana Tea Factory. From here, the trail climbs gently through the Hanthana Tea Estate, with views of Kandy opening up behind you as you gain height.
Make an early stop at a local shop near the 1.4 km mark before the path continues past the W15 Hotel and the Hill Country Sport Shooting Club to the Sugarcane Quarantine Center, then a side trail leading to a secluded meditation stupa.
Reach the highest point at 5.7 km, with views of the Victoria Reservoir and Knuckles Mountain Range on clear days, before descending through quiet villages, past the filming location of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and down through a cool pine forest to the day's end at Galaha Post Office. Spend the evening at Dunali Mountains Cabana.
The next day, drive back to Galaha Post Office, from where the trail heads toward Deltota along a scenic estate path. After climbing past a local school and tea weighing station, reach the lively town of Deltota, known for its fresh produce market and colorful murals, an ideal stop to refuel.
Beyond Deltota, climb steeply through 2.5 km of towering old pine forest, known for leeches after rain, before joining a zigzagging estate road toward the summit near a communications tower. A narrow, marked section past an abandoned village leads into Loolkandura Estate, home to James Taylor's original cottage, the birthplace of Sri Lanka's tea industry in 1867.
From here, descend through tea bushes, rock formations, and rainforest to a bridge beside a Hindu shrine, where the trek concludes.
