Boh Tea Plantation, Cameron Highlands, Pahang Malaysia

Sungai Palas BOH Tea Estate is a must-visit when you are at Cameron Highlands. The scenic area comes right out of a tea commercial. The massive tea plantation stretches as far as the eyes can see. Everywhere you see tea bushes, all beautifully green. If you take a tour there are a couple of points where you can enjoy the scenic views best. If you are going to visit the area by yourself  then just go and stand right next to a tour group to hear the whole story of BOH tea plantation.

The tea factory is open to public every day except for Mondays (and public holidays). The restaurant next to the factory is opened daily; here you can enjoy a nice cup of BOH tea together with a light snack (like cake, scones and tarts) while you are enjoying the fantastic views from the restaurant.  If you arrive around 9am it is still pretty quiet. Come around 11pm and there will be a long queue at the restaurant ordering counter.

Sungai Palas BOH Tea Estate is located north of Tanah Rata (and Brinchang). If you drive north from Brinchang you need to turn left into the small secondary road right after the Equatorial Resort and the Butterfly Farm (and Butterfly Garden); right opposite the fruit and vegetable stalls. From there you follow the road up until you reach the fantastic scenic viewpoints over the tea valleys. There is also a 2nd BOH Tea Estate south of Tanah Rata (15 minute drive). Turn left at kampung Habu. Here too you will find a few great lookout points, and also a tea shop (and factory).

Other tea plantations to visit are Cameron Bharat Tea Estate (3 locations around Tanah Rata). Only the one south of Tanah Rata has a scenic viewpoint. Here you can also enjoy a nice cup of fresh tea at the Cameron Valley Tea House.
