Visit During Daylight Hours Only: The roads can be narrow and foggy at night — plan your visit during daylight for safety and best views. Be Prepared for Weather Changes: The hill country weather can change quickly; bring a light raincoat or umbrella and stay hydrated. Wear Suitable Footwear: The area has hilly terrain and tea plantation paths — wear comfortable, non-slip shoes for safe walking. Respect the Environment and Workers: Do not pluck tea leaves or disturb the plantation workers. Always ask before taking photos of people.
