Morning light lifts off the green rows at Amchong and the tea leaves seem to lean toward the visitor—an active landscape that rewards close attention. Guests arrive at the Director’s bungalow, sip a warming cup, and step into a patchwork of planted slopes where pluckers move with practiced rhythm and the breeze carries tannin and earth.

History
Assam’s tea industry grew rapidly after the 19th-century discovery of the local tea variety (assamica) and became a major export crop under colonial plantation systems.
Conservation
Many estates adopt shade trees and organic plots to support biodiversity; visitors should avoid single-use plastics and purchase locally to support community livelihoods.

Wear sturdy shoes
Paths through the plantation are uneven and sometimes muddy—closed-toe walking shoes give better traction and protection.
Bring sun protection
A wide-brim hat and sunscreen help during open-field segments where shade is limited.
Carry small cash
Estate shops accept cash for tea purchases and souvenirs; card acceptance can be limited.
Respect workers’ space
Ask before photographing pluckers and follow guide instructions; many interactions are social and work-focused.
Closed-toe hiking or walking shoes
Provide grip and protect feet on soft soil, slopes and factory floors.
spring
Lightweight rain jacket
Monsoon showers in Assam can arrive quickly; a packable rain shell keeps you dry.
summer
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated on warm walks is essential; bottled water is usually provided but a refillable bottle reduces plastic use.
Sun hat and sunscreen
