About This Tour
This short and scenic stage of The Pekoe Trail is one of the most popular, taking you through stunning landscapes and serene villages for an authentic taste of Sri Lanka. Beginning in the laidback town of Ella, you'll immediately be immersed in nature as you enter the Ella Forest Reserve. Lush greenery surrounds you and exotic birds sing overhead as you breathe in the fresh air. The trail soon leads you to the famous Nine Arches Bridge, a massive colonial bridge and popular photo spot. Walking across it yourself and seeing it from new vantage points along village roads is an entirely different experience. You'll get a glimpse into local life as the trail cuts through small hill-country villages. Chat with the friendly locals and take in the incredible views of the Nine Arches Bridge from diverse angles. Your trek ends at the Newburgh tea factory and Demodara tea estate, where you'll learn about Sri Lanka's world-famous tea production from our guide.
