Introduction || This trip offers an authentic tea Darjeeling experience, renowned across the world for its delicate aroma and nuanced flavours. Staying in a traditional Tea Planter’s Bungalow converted into a welcoming tourist resort, travellers are immersed in the daily rhythm of plantation life, surrounded by manicured gardens and expansive Darjeeling tea estate surroundings that reflect the region’s long-standing tea heritage.
The experience unfolds through garden walks across working Darjeeling tea garden slopes, meetings with plantation workers, and visits to the factory to understand the detailed tea-making process, followed by tastings that highlight the diversity of orthodox teas. These activities allow a close connection with both the landscape and the people who sustain Darjeeling’s tea culture.
Complementing the plantation experience, the tour includes an exhilarating 4WD jeep safari to Singalila National Park, the highest point of Bengal, where sweeping Himalayan landscapes contrast sharply with the ordered rows of tea bushes below. This combination of tea heritage, living landscapes, and gentle adventure creates a balanced leisure journey rooted in culture and place.
(Tea factory and garden activities are closed from November to March and every Monday. However, walking in the garden and tea tasting are still possible)
