Overview

This unforgettable trekking experience begins with a scenic train journey from Ella or Haputale to Ohiya, setting the tone for one of the most beautiful stages of the Pekoe Trail. Known as a hidden gem, the Udaweriya Valley offers sweeping views across southern Sri Lanka, and on clear days, even glimpses of the distant ocean.

The walk begins with a gentle route through tea plantations and quiet estate villages, where you will meet local tea workers and experience their daily life. The trail gradually transitions into a diverse forest ecosystem including pine forests, eucalyptus stands, natural forests, and sections of lush rainforest. These environments are known for their calming and rejuvenating effects, making the journey both physically refreshing and mentally uplifting.

Along the way, you will enjoy panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Uva Basin and surrounding mountains. A unique highlight of the trek is walking along a railway line and passing through a tunnel, offering a rare and memorable experience. A relaxing picnic will be arranged at a scenic viewpoint where you can unwind and take in the beauty of Sri Lanka’s hill country.

The trek continues through the peaceful Thangamale Bird Sanctuary, a haven for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts. The sanctuary is home to a rich variety of bird species including blue magpies, paradise flycatchers, hornbills, and black eagles, along with wildlife such as giant squirrels and barking deer.

The journey ends at Adisham Bungalow, a colonial-era mansion from 1931 now serving as a Benedictine monastery, finishing in Haputale for onward travel.
