Sri Lanka Trekking Hiking Trips

The Pekoe Trail offers wonderful walking through these historic tea plantations and because it is relatively newly opened up we often had the whole trail to ourselves. As a solo traveller, I was so lucky to be part of a large, energetic and hugely fun group of people. We enjoyed a mix of authentic rural life and a taste of some of the old colonial buildings from the past. Accommodation ranged from simple homestays to historic hotels.

 Mak our wonderful guide and leader. Walking through the amazing tea plantations and seeing the tea pickers. Great walks and scenery. The beautiful people of Sri Lanka who were so happy to see us. It was heartwarming to be met by the children as we walked through the local villages. Lunches prepared for us, traditional and authentic cuisine. Our visit to the Temple of the tooth in Kandy. Our visit to the tea factory on our last day.

It was a really great and often physically challenging experience, I enjoyed it immensely. Most of the days were very long with no relaxation time, much of this was down to the itinerary changes because the trains were out of action. Some of it was also due to a small number of slow walkers, but I guess you never know who you are going to get. The tour guide Praphat Jayasinghe was excellent. He had excellent English, was friendly, organised and very knowledgeable. It was the first time the trip had been run plus there were some changes to the itinerary due to the recent cyclone, however everything ran smoothly. His expertise was obvious and we were fortunate to have him as our guide.

This was my first trip with Exodus but it won’t be my last. The trip was wonderful, well organized with excellent support. Felt I got great quality for the cost.

The leader, Prathap, was exceptional and handled everything with great good humour and expertise. Every aspect of the trip more than fulfilled my expectations, and the quality of the leadership and administration was first-rate.

Our guide/driver (Thalik) was fantastic as he safely navigated the busy road of Sri Lanka and simultaneously told us of the history, geography, religion and politics of this beautiful country. He took us to all the sites listed on our itinerary and more
