Darjeeling
A conversation about plantations in India is incomplete without the mention of Darjeeling. With Indians being lovers of the cuppa, it comes as no surprise that Darjeeling with its enormous tea plantations is a popular holiday destination for us. Around 25% of our country's total tea output comes from Darjeeling. With its picturesque surroundings and a large number of plantation retreats, this hill station is a must visit. And while you are holidaying there, you must try your hand at plucking the tea leaves and taking in their floral smell.
Coorg

You can take a look at the plantation of cardamom, pepper and many spices as well. Apart from the option of staying at the estates, there are many home-stay options available here. Coorg's weather and beauty make it a much-sought after tourist attraction.
