The Tea Gardens of Assam, located mainly across the Upper Assam region, are among the most iconic attractions of Northeast India. Spread across districts like Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Sivasagar, Golaghat, and Cachar, these lush green estates lie along the fertile valleys of the Brahmaputra River, with many gardens situated just 5–15 km from major towns such as Dibrugarh, Jorhat, and Tinsukia. Assam’s tea belt is easily accessible via National Highway 37, with popular gardens like Manjushree Tea Estate (near Dibrugarh), Toklai Tea Research Centre (Jorhat), Halmira Tea Estate (Golaghat), and Meleng Tea Estate (Jorhat) offering guided tours and tea-tasting experiences. Known for producing the world-famous Assam CTC and Orthodox teas, these gardens provide visitors with breathtaking views, misty mornings, colonial-era bungalows, and a chance to learn how India’s finest tea is made. The Assam Tea Gardens are a must-visit destination for photographers, nature lovers, and cultural explorers seeking the true essence of Assam’s heritage.
