Pekoe Trail Start Stage 9

About Pekoe Trail Start Stage 9

Stage 9 of the Pekoe Trail begins here, offering walkers a starting point for one of the sections of this long-distance walking route that threads through Sri Lanka's Hill Country. Located near Nuwara Eliya, the trail passes through the cooler, elevated landscapes characteristic of the region, where tea estates carpet the hillsides and mist frequently settles over the valleys. Visitors typically arrive on foot or by vehicle before setting off along the marked route, which connects villages, estates and viewpoints across the surrounding terrain. The trailhead serves as an orientation point where walkers can gather their bearings before heading into the countryside. Nuwara Eliya, with its accommodation, transport links and amenities, provides a practical base for those planning to complete this stage.
