Regional overview
Planning a Visit to Central Highlands
On Ceylon Folk, Central Highlands is a practical label for content that spans more than one hill-country base. It is not the same thing as the UNESCO World Heritage property named the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka, which has specifically defined protected components.
The only destination guide currently assigned directly to this region is the Pekoe Trail overview. Individual trail stages and nearby highland destinations may use more specific regional labels, so follow those pages for stage-level access and safety information.
