Assam, India’s tea heartland, offers more than just a brew—it offers an experience. With rolling green estates, heritage bungalows, and the aroma of fresh tea leaves in the air, tea tourism in Assam is an emerging travel trend that combines luxury, culture, and nature in one unforgettable journey.
Pioneered by H. P. Barooah, one of Assam’s most respected tea planters, tea tourism here began as more than hospitality—it was about offering travelers a glimpse into the rich legacy of Assam’s tea culture. Today, his vision lives on through Heritage Northeast’s exceptional properties nestled within working tea estates.
