Nepal Tea Tour - 9 Days
Located in the foothills of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the hills of Ilam are draped with lush green tea gardens.
Educational and entertaining, our Nepal Tea Tour gives you the opportunity to discover the beautiful tea gardens of Ilam and learn about the tea making process (harvesting methods, withering, bruising, oxidizing, heating and drying). Lead by local Nepalese tea experts, you will experience the life of a tea producer in Nepal.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, our friendly representative will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign displaying your name. He will then drive you to your hotel.
