Overview
Discover the ultimate hiking adventure on Pekoe Trail Stage 1, starting right here in the scenic hills near our home. Spanning roughly 12.8 km from the iconic Ceylon Tea Museum in Hanthana to the quiet village of Galaha, this historic trail takes you through the very birthplace of Ceylon tea.
As you trek along gentle mountain ridges, you’ll be surrounded by endless green tea fields, pine forests, and sweeping valley views. The path follows old plantation footpaths once used by tea pluckers, offering a peaceful glimpse into authentic rural Sri Lankan life far away from crowded tourist spots. It’s an easy-to-moderate walk with mild elevation changes, making it ideal for both seasoned backpackers and casual hikers.
Because I know every bend and shortcut along these hills, I offer my guests a free guided walking tour along key sections of this trail. You'll discover hidden viewpoints, learn about local history, and enjoy fresh mountain air at your own pace.
