 Day
1: Arrival at NJP rail station / Bagdogra airport
and transfer to Makaibari
Tea Estate. Check in at the home stay with the warm hospitality
of the garden workers. The basic amenities of the home stays
will keep you comfortable with its bio organic food cooked
with love and care and with the feelings of the harmony of
the man and nature that is being preserved here with the natural
instinct of the workers and management. Go for a short birding
tour to the famous Makaibari forest where the ultimate conservation
of ‘Permaculture’ is practiced.
Day 2: Today we explore
the garden with the manager and experience the entire process
of tea manufacturing with tea plucking, factory visit followed
by tea testing of various blends of Darjeeling flavor. Later
after lunch we can go for a hike to the nearby village to
interact with the garden workers and to see their livelihoods.
An alternate option is to go for an exciting ride in Darjeeling
Himalayan railway from Kurseong Heritage Station or an
excursion to Kurseong
town. Back to the bungalow and spend the rest of  the
day lazily with a book. Or an enthusiast can hike to the garden
in search of “Tea God” an insect which has taken
the shape of a tea leave and is not found in the any text
book. The evening will mark with a thumping tribal musical
show with dance and bon fire performed by the garden workers.
Day 3: Walk to the Makaibari
Village in the morning to see the livelihood of the people
and their traditional practice of farming and conservation
for a couple of hours before checking out. Tour ends with
breakfast and a warm farewell from the garden and drive to
onward destination.
