Journey through the breathtaking heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country on this scenic section of the Pekoe Trail. Starting in the quiet tea-growing village of Lunuwatte, the trail winds through rolling tea estates, lush forests, mist-covered hills, and peaceful rural communities. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views across the central highlands and experience the slower rhythm of life among Sri Lanka’s tea plantations. As you make your way towards Uda Pussellawa, the changing landscapes, cool mountain air, and spectacular valleys make this stage a rewarding experience for hikers seeking an authentic taste of Sri Lanka’s hill country.
