Pekoe trail

In the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands, the Pekoe Trail is a 300-kilometre long-distance walking route that winds through some of the country’s most spectacular tea country views. Once a network of colonial-era estate roads used to transport tea, it has now been transformed into a world-class hiking trail and was recognised by TIME as one of the World’s Greatest Places of 2025. The trail traverses misty plantations, eucalyptus forests, quiet villages, panoramic ridgelines and more, offering travelers a rare glimpse into the landscape and lifestyle that shaped Ceylon tea.Heritance Tea Factory is uniquely located on Stage 21 of the trail, making it one of the few properties where guests can step directly from an exclusive heritage hotel onto one of the trail’s most scenic and accessible segments.
