　　Velvety green views are glorious from this out-of-the-way tea plantation, though it's a long drive to get here (allow 40 minutes from Tanah Rata and use your horn on corners; the estate is six snaking kilometres off the main road). Sip tea on an idyllic outdoor terrace, buy boxes of tea or ramble with your camera ready. Tours of the tea factory run every 15 minutes.
