The trails snake through beautifully manicured tea gardens, tranquil patches of forest and jungle, and pass streams and mini waterfalls. Walking is a delightful way of experiencing our stunning landscapes, lush and exotic flora, abundant birdlife and the sweet rhythm of life in a tea garden.
- A broad spectrum of biodiversity exists in tea country - especially ours - as the plantations are interspersed with forest patches that are home to everything from endemic amphibians and birds to leopards.
- We recommend a guided walk in the company of a resident naturalist to get an in-depth narrative, by spotting animals with their keen eye (especially the smaller critters), identifying bird calls, and interpreting tracks and signs of nocturnal animals such as leopards and smaller cat and mammals such as Fishing Cat, deer, mongoose, and primates who have traversed the trails. Our naturalists are also privy to the workings of tea plantations and can narrate day to day workings visible on the walk.
- A different variation (and a guest favourite) is to walk the trails from one bungalow to another for lunch or tea. Transport back to your bungalow can be arranged with prior notice. On completion Breakfast at the Hotel.
