Overview
Hike six standout stages of the Pekoe Trail through the island's emerald-green central highlands, linking tea estates, rural villages and native forests. Along the way, meet tea pickers, visit historic tea factories and follow local paths through places that few travellers reach. Take in the twin cascades of St Clair’s Falls, enjoy the peacefulness of the remote Udaweriya Valley and walk on the iconic stone-and-brick Nine Arches Bridge. Spend a night camping in tea country within Horton Plains National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage site. Finish with a climb to Ella Rock for wide views across Ella Gap, then return to Colombo after nine days on foot, rail and road.

2. Some travellers have reported being approached by locals offering excursions before their Intrepid trip commences. This has been particularly prevalent in and around the hotels used by Intrepid. These guides are in no way connected to Intrepid and we cannot guarantee the safety or quality standards of their tours. We advise customers against joining any tour offered by the unauthorised guides.
3. In case of weather conditions leading to cancellations or delays, this trip will operate on an alternate itinerary.
4. You do not need to bring a sleeping bag or sleeping mat. Your luggage will be transported by vehicle and will meet you at your accomodation.
5. Please provide your full name and passport number exactly as it appears on your passport at the time of booking (including any middle names listed on your passport). If we do not receive your passport details in time, we cannot guarantee your train journey. Fees may apply for adding or amending details within 45 days of departure, and in some cases, you will be required to cover the cost of issuing a new ticket.
