Stay on Wah Tea Estate, one of the largest working plantations in the Himalayan Kangra Valley.
The 500-acre estate dates back to 1857. Built from natural materials, the main lodge is also the family home, so there’s always someone around to talk to, providing a warm, homestay feel. Meals are based on what is in season and many of the herbs and spices are from the garden. On hot days, don't miss the chance to try the home made ice cream using peaches from the grounds. Join a tea tour, where you’ll learn about the entire production process on the plantation, from bush to cup. Try your hand at picking some leaves, visit the factory and then taste up to 15 different teas. You can have a picnic in the estate afterwards with freshly cooked samosas and tea leaf pakoras.
