Tea Plantation – Cameron Highlands
So I’ve had a pair of jeans in my backpack that never really came in handy on this trip of mine – until now!!! It’s freezing here in Tanah Rata! I should of expected it being up in the mountains and all. I’m sure glad I decided not to get rid of them back in Bangkok.
Anyway, it is beautiful up here. Cameron Higlands is especially known for their vast areas of tea plantations – Home of the BOH Tea, leading tea producer in Malaysia. The tea are grown and packed here in the Highlands. If you’re a big tea drinker you would love this place!
Making your way to the plantation, the scenery is lovely – tons and tons of green, perfectly aligned rows of tea plants! The girls and I walked our way down to the plantation (1.5 hour walk) and took in the breathtaking scenery.
After enjoying a cup of tea we started our way back up the mountain. We were half way up when it started to rain – so we tried to hitch hike our way back to the town – and after 20 minutes of trying… finally a local stopped and we hopped in the back of his truck. Terima Kasih!
