Your walk will begin at the historic Ceylon Tea Museum in Kandy built into the shell of an old tea factory resting on the Hanthana Estate.

 

A notable feature of this stage is that it runs parallel to the Hanthana Range. Hanthana is a protected area home to numerous species of birds, reptiles, insects and wildlife like fishing cats, monkeys, leopards and foxes.

 

It is popular among locals and tourists, as it has the easiest access for hiking, camping or bird watching experiences within Kandy city limits. As you walk through small villages and towns folk, you will conclude your journey at the Galaha post office.
