The Most Iconic Trek in the Hill Country

The Devil’s Staircase is not for the faint of heart—it is for the true adventurer. Named for its steep, zigzagging turns and rugged terrain, this trail offers some of the most spectacular landscapes in South Asia. Starting from Kalupahana, we ascend to the high-altitude plains and journey through remote tea estates and hidden valleys.
