Sungei Palas Tea Factory

One of the best place to enjoy the plantation scenery in Cameron Highlands is the Boh Plantation in Sungei Palas. The entrance to the plantation is just minutes away from Equtorial Hotel in Brinchang, and the drive way to the plantation is an adventure by itself. It is a single lane access road, hugging closely to the cliff and at some corners, it is impossible to see whether there is another vehicle heading towards you. So, it is wise to honk as you approach the corners.

At a junction, you could turn left and head to Gunung Brinchang (yup, drive all the way up to the mountain). Turn right and you will soon reach the plantation factory. Your reward: Magnificent view of rows of tea plant.
