This was the most heartwarming and wholesome experience we had1
We had visited here on a spare day as we had nothing to do expecting this to be just one of the many tea estates in and around that area. But boy we were wrong! This place is a complete package.. It has a tea factory where Mr. Punit will guide you through the process of tea making from the history of origin of tea, to right way of plucking to the final product.. difference between various forms of tea and in general everything related to tea. This is done at a minimal fees of Rs. 150/- per head and is totally worth the money. This is followed by a delicate tea tasting session where one can taste around 10 varieties of tea. The place also has a cafe and a reading corner where you can enjoy a book overlooking the beautiful tea gardens along with a cup of tea or play a board game or two along with a snack on the side. The cafe serves delicious food. Ideal time to visit would be from 2PM to 5PM when the sun is just about right and the whether is pleasant.
It is a 10/10 and a must visit in our opinion! :)
PS : You might also get to meet the owner of the tea estate, like we did, who will guide you to exclusive things to do in and around the area which might not come up on google when you search about the area.

Wah tea estate was quite a pleasant discover for us. It is easily the best tea estate to visit in the McLeodGanj and Palampur area. The estate itself is sprawling and looks lovely. They are the only one in the area to offer a nice tea estate tour and a tea tasting session. Mr.Punit was very knowledgeable and explained the history & origin of tea cultivation and the full process involved in making various kinds of tea. There is a very quaint & lovely tea room where you can sample different kinds of tea and purchase such as hand rolled green tea, Chamomile, rose, white tea, masala tea etc. The team room cafe which is just behind the tasting room is a nice open cafe overlooking the tea plantations - one could sit and have light snacks as well as meals along with nice cups of flavourful teas. Please walk though the tea estate and enjoy the serenity. We really had a very pleasant time here.

Did a tour before sitting at the cafe, and found it extremely informative and interesting. Had no idea about the manufacturing process of tea and I got to try all the flavours in their lovely tasting room overlooking the gorgeous green garden!

The tour was interesting for a first-time experience of tea tasting. The guide was very insightful about the origins and history of tea and the estate and the journey through time. The owner was also very nice.

Went to stay at their lodge and took regular walks through the tea estates as they spread out vastly in all directions. The estate has a nature trail marked, so that one can safely walk through without getting lost. Also visited their factory, in the premises, and learnt how tea is plucked & packed so that it can be kept fresh and retain its flavour when it reaches us, the consumer. They also conduct tea tasting at the factory, gives you a taste of the different flavours of tea that they produce and sell. A very interesting tour that one should do if they have time and inclination.

I understand the estate is closed on Mondays.
Are there any other similar tea estates in Palampur and/or Dharamshala that are also worth a visit ?
