This is no ordinary trek.
In January 2027, a team of Faith in Families supporters will take on 100km across Sri Lanka’s dramatic central highlands, raising vital funds for children and families facing poverty, crisis and trauma across Swansea Bay.
Over five days, we will trek through rugged ridgelines, thick rainforest, sweeping plains and working tea plantations. We’ll tackle over 3,000 metres of ascent and descent, including the legendary climb up Jacob’s Ladder.
This is adventure with purpose.
Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka has it all; breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, rich cultural heritage and some of the warmest hospitality you’ll ever experience.
We’ll trek sections of the Pekoe Trail, a relatively new 300km route following ancient paths first created by British tea pioneers and long used by local communities. It remains largely untouched by mass tourism, making this a rare and authentic experience.
Along the way we will:
Conquer the V-shaped mountain pass known locally as Jacob’s Ladder
Explore the UNESCO-listed Horton Plains National Park
Trek through working tea estates and colonial-era factories
Experience genuine interactions with rural villages
Enjoy sacred views of Adam’s Peak
Spot incredible wildlife — monkeys, jungle fowl, dusky squirrels and more
Every day brings different terrain, different landscapes, different stories.
The Challenge
100km over five days
5–8 hours trekking per day
Over 3,000m ascent and 3,500m descent
Varied terrain including rainforest, plains and remote ridgelines
It will be tough. It will stretch you. It will test your resilience.
And it will be unforgettable.
