HORTAN PLAINS ⇌ UDAWERIYA (pekoe trail Stage 11) 👣🗺️💚🍂
This trail begins at the Farr Inn, once the old hunting lodge for high-ranking British colonial officials, which has now been turned into the visitor center for Horton Plains National park.
Today you will trek from the highest point of the entire Pekoe Trail (2,170 meters) along the road to Ohiya towards the iconic “Devil’s Staircase”, which is the steepest downward descent of The Pekoe Trail.
