GLENBURN TEA ESTATE

FLAVOURFUL HISTORY

The Glenburn Tea Estate offers a boutique retreat in the heart of the tea-capital of India, Darjeeling, where you can drink tea till your heart’s content.

For over 150 years some of the finest Darjeeling tea has been grown on a tiny, exclusive little plantation high in the Himalayas, beneath the soaring peaks of the mighty Kanchenjunga Mountains. So if you’re a lover of tea, the Glenburn offers you a unique opportunity to understand the methods of growing and preparing the world’s favourite drink, as well as the intricacies of its taste and its flavourful history. It’s an experience akin to that of a wine connoisseur staying as a guest on a small, highly acclaimed vineyard in France, run by a renowned family of wine-makers.

But tea isn’t the only refreshing aspect of Glenburn. Nature lovers can explore the diverse landscape, flora and fauna. And foodies will be well catered with fine cuisine, prepared from many estate-grown ingredients.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91ºÚÁÏÍø were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91ºÚÁÏÍø and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
