Happy Valley Tea Estate, At the end of the T P Banerjee Road – a small, steep road off Hill Cart Road (Approx 3km from Chowk Bazaar, 1km from Botanical Gardens). Daily working schedule from 8am to 4pm from Tuesday to Saturday is observed here. This tea estate is within walking distance of Darjeeling. You’d get there quicker walking anyway as the traffic on Hill Cart Road is always terrible. The walk back up to Hill Cart Road is quite steep (not recommended for anyone who’s feeble) but it’s worth it. You’ll need to pay a guide a small fee to show you around the factory (around Rs.50-70) The best quality tea at the Happy Valley Tea Estate is known as SFTGFOP (Super Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) – seriously. Make sure you also visit the Happy Golden Cafe in the small shack-like building nearby. Depending on availability, a cup of delicious SFTGFOP tea will set you back a mere Rs.50.
