I see magazines recommending Jaffna and Horton Plains. Are there new trails or segments of the Pekoe Trail that are particularly trending this season.

Accepted Answer

Sri Lanka was recently named a top 50 destination for 2026 by Travel plus Leisure. Experts are specifically pointing toward the highlands of Horton Plains and the northern city of Jaffna for adventure. The Pekoe Trail has been expanded with several new segments in the tea country that are now fully open. Jaffna is trending due to its unique multicultural heritage and the accessibility of northern islands like Karainagar for coastal walking.
