Cameron Highlands 260605b: The former Bharat Tea Estate

As the road winds down from Tanah Rata on the way to Ringlet, a traveler will come to this spot - a tea plantation formerly known as Bharat, but now in the possession of Boh Tea (www.boh.com.my), I believe. Located at some 4000ft above sea level, it used to have its own tea, known as Teh Ringgit Emas.

It is a very popular spot because of its accessibility, and the tea-house offers great views of the tea valley below. But be careful of haphazard parking along the main Tanah Rata - Ringlet road.
