What do you think about Tea gardens in general? If you ask me, I’ll say tea gardens are one of the most soothing places on earth. Lush greenery, symmetrical tea shrubs – it often seems unreal and cinematic. The serene ambiance, beautiful orchards, exquisite greenery, and colorful flowers – is one of the best natural combinations you’ll ever experience.
Sittong is a cluster of little hamlets in the Kurseong Subdivision. It has an average altitude of almost 4000 ft. Although it is a great location with amazing views, Sittong is still fairly untouched by a swarm of tourists. If you are looking for a shopping complex or a great restaurant, Sittong might not be great for you, but if you are looking for a place with exceptional natural beauty, a peaceful atmosphere, and the best backdrop to watch the magnificent Mt. Kanchenjunga – Sittong is the best place to be.
