Welcome to Assam, the Tea Hub of the world! Over 2000 gardens - some of them extending to 2000 acres - surrounded by nature's bounty. They offer the breathtaking views of lush green, while producing the largest quantity of tea from a single region in the world.

The backdrop to Assam's tea gardens is the rainforests and grasslands of northeastern India - home to the world's rarest flora and fauna. In fact credit for the discovery of Kaziranga, the most sought after destination today for the Great Indian One Horned Rhino, goes to early tea planters! They brought it to the attention of conservationists and hence, to today's inveterate wildlife globe-trotters!

In addition to this natural splendour, there is the many-hued engaging folk culture of the indigenous people of Assam. Their everyday life, intrinsically linked to the tea gardens, offers a cameo of colours not just in sights but in sounds as well!

Heritage North East invites you to experience this world apart, from the point of view of an Assam tea garden! Relive the life of 'burra sahib', as the British Manager of yore was called. Step back more than 100 years, to savour the pleasure of this colonial past. Glimpse a folk culture that is as vibrant as it was two hundred years ago. Finally, visit those fantastic tourist destinations - that only Assam can offer... At the end, discover that you've got for yourself much more than you ever dreamed of writing home about!
