India: Thekaddy Tea Plantations

Thekkady is renowned for its lush tea plantations. The area is surrounded by vast tea estates, such as Connemara, Pattumalay, Poabs Organic, and many other, which blanket the rolling hills in vibrant green carpets. These plantations, often shrouded in mist, contrast beautifully with the rugged hills and mountain peaks. The plantations are interspersed with tall shade trees, and are great for bird watching as well.
