Tea tourism in India is a throbbing industry, and why not, the nation does produce the largest quantity of tea in the world. What's more, Indians also consume the most tea. Visitors enjoy trips to Indian tea estates, soaking in the scenic beauty and learning about the tea-growing process.
Tea Estate Tours in India offer much to the traveler. A close encounter with the wonder beverage and how it makes its journey from the bush to your cup, the tour encompasses all this and more.
Several hotels dot the Nilgiris and many are close to the tea estates. In Darjeeling, accommodation is available at the stately Glenburn Tea Estate and the Makaibari Tea Estate. Here you can enjoy the estates in all their glory without compromising on comfort and luxury.
The Glenburn Tea Estate
The Glenburn Tea Estate produces some of the world's finest leaves and provides luxurious accommodation options to tea tourism enthusiasts. At 3,700 ft, the forest surroundings are a natural paradise for environment lovers, hikers and bird-watchers.
Guests here can stay in plush suites with Darjeeling Green Tea toiletries in the bathrooms.
The Makaibari Tea Estate
The Makaibari Tea Estate on the other hand provides the pastoral Stone Lodge; an exclusive heritage abode with only four luxury suites. One can also choose to stay at the Makaibari Guest House or the dwelling of the tea garden workers to experience everything in the raw.
Assam Tea Estates Accommodation
While several tea bungalows in Assam have been transformed into luxurious hotels, for the tea tourism enthusiast, old bungalows in close proximity to tea estates offer a better alternative to expensive and far away hotels.
Recently, the Adabari Tea estate near Tezpur, was revamped for tourists changing the overall facade of the colonial structure. The century-old tea garden belonged to the British Assam Tea Company and has been re-christened as the British Assam Heritage Bungalow, with a 24-room tourist accommodation.
