Tea Tourism in Darjeeling - Sikkim - Dooars

A refreshing sea of green on the rolling hill-slopes. Peace everywhere, broken only by the chirping of birds and the gurgling of streams. The colourfully clad tea workers gently plucked the famous two leaves and a bud, humming many merry tunes. And finally, colonial comfort in fabulous Bungalows with a hot cuppa - the finest blend of aromatic… it's Tea all about!!

Tea-tourism is a fast-growing travel concept in the Eastern Himalayas, mainly in the Darjeeling hills and Dooars foothills. A retreat in tea gardens set amidst a serene landscape is perhaps the most exotic and innovative way to enjoy nature.

HUMRO TOURS has developed a few unique Tea Circuits in the Darjeeling-Dooars belt, and to this end, selected some of the best-located gardens in the area. The accommodation is in the original Managers’ Bungalows, which are, usually, well-preserved old colonial structures. Inside, the antique furniture keeps the Glenburn Tea garden cottage heritage illusion alive. Sprawling rooms with attached baths and fireplaces are ideally designed to give you the desired warmth and comfort with delicious local and oriental cuisines.

Tea Tourism started in Darjeeling hills towards the end of the last century. A major fillip was received as the government emphasised Tea tourism during the first few years of the last decade. A number of tea tourism destinations developed over the years which offer some of the most scenic accommodations in some of the best tea gardens anywhere in the world.

The undulating beauty of the Tea Gardens is the primary attraction of Tea Tourism. A well-maintained tea garden with its tea bushes and shade trees can be a real feast for the eyes.

Most of Tea Tourism projects allow guests to stay inside the Tea Garden in Tea Bungalows. These are mostly the manager's Bungalows constructed during the British era and influenced by Victorian and Gothic architecture. Many of these Tea Bungalows are more than a century old and staying in these places itself can be an enticing experience.

The Scenic beauty of these gardens is also mesmerising. The gardens provide an excellent view of the mountains including a view of the Kanchenjunga range of mountains. Some of the gardens are set close to the forests and nature-based tourism such as Birding is a good option.
At HUMRO TOURS, we arrange the experience of tea tourism in its totally for our valued guests. Following are some of the best tea tourism options in the Darjeeling hills and adjacent Dooars area.
