Length 15.1 km Elevation gain 760 m Route type Point to point Experience this 15.1-km point-to-point trail near Galaha, Kandy. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 4 h 45 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking and walking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. This walk can be divided into two distinct parts: the first section from Galaha to Deltota and the second from Deltota to Loolecondera.   Galaha to Deltota is a very short and rewarding hike. The first stretch is on the road toward Galaha General Hospital. Soon, it leaves the main road and head into the Deltota Estate. Locals will tell hikers the road to Deltota or Loolecondera is the main road, but there is a better option. The path through the Deltota Estate is beautiful. There is a path to the right from the main road with a signboard stating, "Welcome to the Deltota Estate". There are school grounds and houses to the right as the path approaches a rather steep section. As it ascends, the views behind of the Hantana Estate and the mountains are stunning. Once it reaches the intersection there is a tea weighing station. Take the track to the right.   The path on this stretch is wide and very easy to follow. Soon it reaches a village and the way becomes a little more intricate. There is a bridge to cross on the left. This is an important turning point. If one gets lost, the locals can help - this time do take their advice. There are lots of twists and turns on the approach to Deltota town.   Deltota is a typical hill country town with a lively market, but perhaps the most striking feature of the town is the large green mosque. The market is well worth stopping at. There are plenty of fruits and veggies and a very colorful painted mural.   As the track leaves Deltota, the route follows the main road that leads to Galaha and then takes a steep village road up to the left. For the next stretch it follows an old trail through an old pine forest with enormous trees. Eventually, the trail joins an old tea estate road and zig-zags all the way up the mountain.   The views get better with each step on the ascent. The path is wide and easy to follow. Close to the top, the track levels out. Up and to the right is a communications tower positioned slightly above the trail. Walk carefully as this is high mountain terrain and on a rainy day the path may be a little slippery.   There is an abandoned village, shortly after which there is a small river crossing. The track thins out here for a short bit. Every so often there is a concrete post painted in yellow and red on the side of the trail making the trail very easy to follow. Next, the small path turns into a wide tea track as it enters the higher divisions of the Loolecondera Estate.   On this beautiful walk section, observe the original cottage set up by James Taylor. This is an important milestone of the Pekoe Trail. This fer
