Happy Valley Tea Estate

Wandering through tea gardens settled on the gentle hill slopes of Darjeeling is the perfect way to start your day at the Happy Valley Tea Estate. With plantations as old as 150 years and picture-perfect stretches of lush green tea bushes beckoning you, this tea estate will floor you with its scenic charm. Stop by the gardens during the process of plucking, processing and packaging and you’ll be privy to one of the most fascinating tea garden experiences. Tea lovers can pick up a handful of fresh tea from here or sip a cup of their favourite aromatic tea at the nearby Happy Gold Café. A few routes around the estate offer great trekking paths, along with spectacular views of the sprawling landscape. The employees at the estate help guide you around the aromatic factory and explain the withering, rolling, fermenting and drying processes.
