TEA TOURISM

What is Tea Tourism? A New Way to Explore Assam with Destinatia

🌱 Introduction to Tea Tourism

Imagine walking through endless carpets of lush green tea plantations, sipping the freshest brew under open skies, and learning the centuries-old secrets behind every leaf.
This is Tea Tourism.

Tea Tourism is a unique form of experiential travel where tourists visit tea-growing regions to explore the culture, production process, history, and flavors associated with tea. It combines nature walks, heritage exploration, culinary experiences, and cultural immersion — all woven together by the story of tea.

At Destinatia Tours and Travels, we are proud to bring you authentic Tea Tourism experiences at some of India’s most beautiful and historic tea estates in Assam & Arunachal Pradesh.
