Morning fog lifts from a grass plain on a high ridge and the trail opens: low, wind-beaten trees crouch like an audience, and a wide plateau unfurls toward tea terraces and distant peaks. The Chariot Path is not a manicured park — it is a highland plain atop a mountain range near the Frotoft Tea Estate outside Pussellawa, where rock, grass and dwarf forest shape a route locals link to the legend of King Ravana.
moderate.
2 days (approx.).
Moderate cardio and leg strength; able to hike 8–12 hours per day with a daypack or light overnight pack.
It is relatively remote with long stretches away from settlements; itineraries typically include a guide and an overnight camp, and transport to/from Pussellawa is required.
There is no national park permit for the plain itself, but visitors should respect private tea estate land—ask local operators about access and permissions included with the tour.
This itinerary lists overnight camping on-site; expect basic tent camping with food arrangements provided by the operator.
Not recommended for very young children due to long daily distances, exposed terrain and cold nights; check operator age policies before booking.
Local folklore links the plain to the Ramayana-era figure King Ravana; the surrounding hills later became tea country during colonial plantation expansion.
Stick to established campsites, pack out all waste, and avoid wood fires; the highland peat and dwarf forest habitats recover slowly from trampling.
