Pekoe Trail Experience: Hanthana to Galaha & The Indiana Jones Legacy
Step into cinematic history and Sri Lanka’s storied tea country with a guided trek along Pekoe Trail Stage 11: Hanthana to Galaha — a 13.8km trail winding through rolling tea estates, cloud-kissed ridges, and misty pine forests. This scenic 4-hour hike not only immerses you in the breathtaking beauty of the central highlands but also leads you near the legendary filming site of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom — a hidden gem few travellers uncover.
Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer from Aarunya to the Hanthana trailhead. Guided by an expert familiar with the route’s heritage and natural beauty, you’ll trek through terrain steeped in colonial tea history, rich biodiversity, and cinematic lore.
