Asian
Group’s Tea estate, spread
over 500 acres, is
strategically located in
North Bengal, offering a new
emerging opportunity: Tea
Tourism. Around Matigara
Tea Estate which has
unutilised surplus land, the
company is planning to build
a self-reliant resort where
a tourist would find Nature
as Nature intended.
Tourism in North Bengal is
still in its infancy and
vast potential exists. The
natural scenic beauty of the
region comprising hills and
dales, streams and rivulets,
and wild life sanctuaries
offer an unparalleled
experience to tourists.
Coupled with this is the
beauty of tea plantations
which dot the region.
Sprawling wooden bungalows,
large courtyards filled with
colorful flowers,
century-old trees and green
lawns promise to capture an
old-world charm and a
lifestyle experience of a
bygone era. Nestled deep in
the verdant tea gardens,
staff living quarters and
bungalows will be turned
into luxury apartments with
modern amenities.
Additionally, on offer will
be eco-tourism, nature
walks, trekking, rafting and
golf. Plans are afoot to
make the resorts
self-sufficient, with their
own poultry, dairy, fishery,
orchards and vegetable
gardens.
