Thengal Manor & Jorhat Tea Estates
Thengal Manor
A colonial-era manor hotel in the Jorhat tea belt, where you can stay in a tea estate bungalow, watch tea pickers at work, and tour a tea factory in Assam's tea country.
Jorhat is known as the Tea Capital of the World, with over a hundred tea estates nearby. The Tocklai Tea Research Institute is also based here. Thengal Manor is a colonial-style residence built in 1929 in Jaloukonibari, about 15 km south of Jorhat, and is now a heritage hotel. The surrounding estates offer guided tours, the chance to watch women tea pickers at work, and visits to the factory to see withering, rolling, and fermentation. These tours generally need to be booked in advance. It is a good idea to plan one night on a tea estate before or after your trip to the island.
