A visit to Tea Plantations in Cameron Highlands

“There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature…” - Henry David Thoreau

(The Tea Plantation in Cameron Highlands)

Today we planned to visit the tea plantations in Cameron Highlands.

It was a day trip to Cameron Highlands via the Sungai Koyan route, about 250 km from our Bidara house. This route is our favourite because the road is good and we love a slow relaxing drive while enjoying the scenic views of the mountains and valleys. Although the road is a little winding, it is definitely a way better route than the usual Tapah route.

We had a heavy breakfast of nasi berlauk at one Kelantanese Restaurant in Gombak. From Gombak we drove to sungai Koyan via Bentong and Raub. We made a brief stop at Sungai Koyan R&R to stretch our legs. We later drove the winding Sg Koyan-Ringlet road direct to Cameron Highlands.

Today we visited two big tea plantations, Boh Tea plantation and Bharat Tea Plantation.
