Kurseong tea gardens

Makaibari, Castleton, Ambootia: walk a slope of tea bushes, see the factory, and taste the difference between flushes.

Kurseong is the tea town on the Hill Cart Road, ringed by estates like Makaibari, Castleton and Ambootia. The toy train line runs through the middle of the bazaar.

We save it for the way down: an estate walk, a cup of the second flush, and momos before the drive to NJP.

What's here

  • Makaibari, Castleton and Ambootia estates
  • Kurseong station on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
  • Eagle's Craig viewpoint
  • Momos in the bazaar
