Using Your Membership to Book a Trail Pass

  1. Why the app still says ““Buy Pass”Pass”

    If you have an active 7-Day or 3-Month Pekoe Trail Membership, you do not pay again for trail passes.

    The app button says ““Buy Pass”Pass”, but for members this simply means confirming and issuing your pass, not paying again.

    How it works

    1. Open the The Pekoe Trail App or web portal (https://portal.thepekoetrail.org)

    2. Go to Passes > Book a Pass

    3. Select your Stage and hiking date
      Make sure you are logged into the same account that has the active membership

    4. At checkout, the pass price will show LKR 0.00 if

      • Your membership is active on the selected date

      • The stage is eligible under your plan

    5. Tap Confirm / Get Pass

    You will receive
    •• A QR code pass in the app
    •• A confirmation email

    If you see a price instead of LKR 0.00

    Please check the following before proceeding
    •• You are logged into the correct account
    •• The selected date falls within your membership period
    •• Your app is updated to the latest version

    If the issue persists, contact our team before purchasing.

    Key clarification

    The ““Buy Pass”Pass” button is a system label and does not mean you are paying again.

  • Pass confirmation: For each booked pass, a separate email + in‑app QR code is issued.
