Three getaways to escape to this monsoon
The tea gardens at the Nya Sylee Tea Estate in the Dooars
CALL OF THE GREEN
Nya Sylee Tea Estate, Dooars
The Dooars in Bengal are the foothills of the Himalayas that form the gateway to the hills and to the entire north eastern region including Bhutan. Known for its verdant greenery, three forests and national parks, it’s also an area that was extensively developed for its tea gardens during the British Rule. Since they are in the plains, the tea isn’t quite as acclaimed or flavourful as that in Darjeeling, but nonetheless, staying in a colonial style bungalow in the midst of miles of tea gardens is an experience to cherish.
Nya Sylee Tea Estate, owned by Octvaius tea resorts is right in the plains with the mist covered blue mountains of Bhutan visible in the horizon. The Bhutan border is actually just six kilometres away from here. Well-known tourist hotspots in the Dooars like Bindu and Murti are a short drive away as well.
But if you don’t want an activity packed getaway but simply want to soak in the view, Nya Sylee is quite perfect for that too. Surrounded by acres of tea gardens, a pretty green lawn, and a porch overlooking the gardens, it’s a place to forget the cares of the world. Grab a yoga mat provided in the rooms and head out to the gardens on a clear day, or play a round of carrom or billiards in the game room. Take a book from the library to read or go for a walk along the tea gardens for some clean fresh air.
