Request for the bamboo tea making process that is unique  because of its smokey flavor. We were treated to high tea by the lake while savouring this memorable experience.

Tea plucking experience can also be organized by the resort.

* Boat ride by the lake for bird watching or simply to take in the natura and its beauty.

*If you are an early riser bird watching is a must and trek in the Shiva Bheti

* Enjoy the rich heritage of Assamese cuisine - it's exotic with its use of herbs and vegetables found only in the state, not to forget the fact that it's delicious and cooked with fresh ingriedients from their garden. We tasted a variety of seven fish curry gravies in one meal! It was just incredible. Opt for the authentic Assamese breakfast and thali that are a burst of flavours.
