Enjoy a Boat Cruise on the Hooghly River
A boat cruise on the Hooghly River offers you a unique perspective on Kolkata. A private riverboat allows you to explore a different side of the city, offering a close-up view of the various activities along the riverbanks. This was the same view that fascinated many adventurers in the 19th century when they arrived at Princep’s Ghat.
As you sail along, you'll pass by Belur Math, the headquarters of The Ramakrishna Mission, with the city's prominent bridges, Howrah and Vidyasagar Setu, towering above. It's a wonderfully relaxing way to end the day, complete with a delightful tea menu featuring popular Indian snacks and refreshing Darjeeling tea.
Visit the Glenburn Tea Estate in the Darjeeling Foothills of the Indian Himalayas
You'll begin your journey to Glenburn Tea Estate in the Darjeeling foothills of the Indian Himalayas by taking a flight followed by a road trip. Along the way, you'll have a fantastic picnic at a scenic spot. When you arrive in the early evening, you'll settle into your suite in a colonial-style bungalow. The evening kicks off with bonfire drinks, followed by a four-course dinner with your hosts and fellow guests.
During your stay, you'll have a chance to explore the vast 1,600-acre private estate and learn about the art of growing and crafting Glenburn Tea. You'll visit the tea fields, chat with the tea pickers, and follow the journey of tea leaves from the bush to the tea factory. It all culminates in a tea-tasting session where you'll discover the incredible range of flavours and aromas that come from a single bush in different seasons.
