Overview

This immersive hiking experience takes you deep into the scenic highlands of Belihuloya, tracing the historic hunting path once used by Samuel Baker. The journey begins with a TukTuk ride to the trailhead, setting the tone for an authentic and adventurous day.

As you begin the hike, you will pass through misty cloud forests and open grasslands, surrounded by breathtaking mountain landscapes. The trail offers a mix of terrain, including steep climbs and rocky ridges, rewarding you with sweeping panoramic views of valleys and distant peaks. Along the way, you will also walk through lush tea plantations, where the rhythm of local life unfolds around you.

A highlight of the journey is visiting a tea worker’s home, where you gain a personal glimpse into Sri Lanka’s tea culture. You will share a warm cup of traditional tea and interact with villagers, learning about their daily routines and heritage.

Midway through the hike, you will reach Baker’s Bend, a historic and reflective site linked to Samuel Baker’s expedition. This stop adds a meaningful historical layer to your adventure.

The experience concludes at the Nonpareil tea factory, where your trek ends. From here, you will be comfortably transported back to your hotel, completing a day filled with nature, culture, and history.
