Planning your Hike

What are the best stages of the trail?

It is a very hard question to answer. Each stage has its own uniqueness and very hard to narrow it down. On the Pekoe Trail App, each stage has a comprehensive description of the stage with user ratings, points of interests and audio stories along reviews and images uploaded by users. Best is to check the App for each stage. Learn how to access Stage Profiles from the Pekoe Trail App

Why do I need a trail pass and where to get it?

Trail passes are required for every stage of the trail. The passes are currently free and can be obtained through The Pekoe Trail App.  Trail passes provide important data on trail usage so that we can best manage each stage. We use this information to plan maintenance and facilities and to encourage local services. We also have an obligation to report trail usage to our various stakeholders, like the tea plantations and Forest Department.  Plus, by getting a trail pass and using the app, you can track your progress, learn about points of interest along the way, and get a badge for completion of each stage! Please note that while trail passes are free, some stages do have additional charges from other entities (i.e. Horton Plains, Loolkandura Estate, etc.) Learn how to get the Pass
