Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hiking up Kirrigalpottha was memorable, and I loved some the colonial accommodation such as Hotel Suisse and especially Bandarawela Hotel.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Quite exceptional. Excellent in every way. My especial thanks for his extra efforts on my behalf to provide Gluten-free food options wherever possible.

Hiking on Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail

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.

I loved the holiday and that it allowed me to travel to places I would not have been able to go to on my own.

 

Most Inspirational Moment

Adams Peak, felt adventurous and exciting, even though it was so crowded at the top. Tiny events along the trail - being invited to see a Hindu wedding and our guide giving us the flexibility and time to briefly become involved, seeing birds, interacting with locals.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I have already nominated him for the group leader award on the website, he was amazing: curious, kind, funny, flexible and adaptable to our needs, listened to what we liked and what we didn’t like.

Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hiking through the beautiful and varied countryside of Sri Lanka. Hearing about the history and culture, seeing and interacting with the local people. The food was great too!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mak is an engaging, professional, enthusiastic and knowledgable leader. Our needs and comfort were always a priority. You can have a great itinerary but without a Mak in charge it’s just a hike. He is terrific.

Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail

The itinerary, the planning, the logistics, the personnel, travel arrangements, food, accommodations were all top notch.

Most Inspirational Moment

The people and culture encountered, the scenery, the Pekoe Trail, sunrise at Adams Peak.

Prathap was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, and made every effort to assure we were all going to have a great time.

  1.  Mak our wonderful guide and leader.
  2. Walking through the amazing tea plantations and seeing the tea pickers. Great walks and scenery.

  4. Lunches prepared for us, traditional and authentic cuisine.
  5. Our visit to the Temple of the tooth in Kandy.
  6. Our visit to the tea factory on our last day.
Thoughts on Group Leader

The tour leader Mak was absolutely brilliant. He made the holiday and his local knowledge was invaluable. He was very organised, a great communicator and he went the extra mile to make our trip memorable. The bus driver and his assistant were also excellent. A great team who looked after us extremely well, thank you.
