Cool, gloriously cool!! The Highlands are lush and green with extensive tea plantations, vegetable farms and strawberry farms stretching as far as the eye can see.\u00a0 The jungle areas are vast and dense and have interesting walking trails to view birds, butterflies and waterfalls<\/p>\n

A lot of local and foreign tourists visit the area and weekends are extremely busy.\u00a0 I went on an early-morning tour to watch the sunrise over the tea plantations.\u00a0 It was foggy with a slight drizzle so we did not see the sunrise but it was beautiful so early in the morning.<\/p>\n

\"Tea <\/a>
The best part – tea and scones with cream and strawberry jam! <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

We then went to the highest point – 2032m – and walked through the Mossy Forest.\u00a0 I loved this walk.\u00a0 On a misty morning the gnarled, moss-covered trees become imbued with mystique – I expected to encounter a wizard, a gnome or at the very least, a Hobbit going about their business.<\/p>\n
