Happy Valley Tea Estate

Happy Valley Tea Estate, operating since 1854 on 177 hectares, produces about 30,000 kg of orthodox tea yearly, with first-flush yields at ₹2,500 per kg—25% above its second-flush price. Its guided tours, featuring 19th-century machinery, cost just ₹150, making it cheaper than the typical Darjeeling boutique estate's per-tour fee and outperforming #4 Temi Tea Garden's ₹300 entry. This accessibility enhances its educational appeal.
