Tea Garden Tours

Step into the world of 'the champagne of teas' with a tour of Darjeeling's iconic tea gardens. Sprawling across the misty hills, these emerald-green estates produce some of the most sought-after tea in the world. A tour offers a fascinating insight into the entire tea-making process, from the delicate plucking of the 'two leaves and a bud' to the final stages of withering, rolling, fermenting, drying, and sorting.

Beyond the educational aspect, the experience is a sensory delight. Walk through the manicured rows of tea bushes, breathe in the fragrant air, interact with the tea workers, and conclude your tour with a tasting session. You'll learn to distinguish the nuances of different flushes and appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into every cup. Many estates also offer heritage stays, allowing for a truly immersive experience.
