Stages 1 to 3 cross the Kandy side, from Hantana toward Loolkandura and Tawalantenne, including some of the oldest tea land in the country. Stages 10 to 12 climb from Dayagama toward Horton Plains and on to Haputale. Carry the official Pekoe Trail pass, which supports the trail.

Questions

Is the Pekoe Trail inside the Knuckles?

No. The Pekoe Trail runs through the tea highlands. From parts of stage 1 you can see the Knuckles on a clear day, which is why some longer holidays join the two.
