Our Story
Sri Lanka Trekking Club – Community-Based Tourism Since 1990
Established in 1990, the Sri Lanka Trekking Club is one of the country’s pioneering trekking tour providers. This family-run initiative is led by Deen, a highly experienced and licensed trekking guide who has spent decades organizing and leading unforgettable hiking adventures—especially for international travelers. We are 100% local, born and raised in the hill country, and we’ve spent our entire lives exploring the highlands of Sri Lanka.
Based in the heart of the central highlands—the island’s premier trekking region—we offer a wide range of tailor-made programs to suit all levels of adventure seekers. We specialize in the renowned Pekoe Trail, offering guided treks that span all 22 stages or any custom segment of your choice.
As a fully local and community-rooted organization, our goal is to deliver authentic, nature-based experiences that go far beyond the typical tourist trail. Our treks take you deep into the real Sri Lanka—across rolling hills, lush valleys, cascading waterfalls, tea plantations, rice paddies, forest trails, and traditional village paths. Often, you can experience this incredible variety within just a single day’s walk.
