spring till early autumn, seems to harmoniously blend with
the terrain of this Himalayan idyll as if Mother Nature
herself had procreated such an arrangement.
Temi Tea Estate:Temi Tea Garden is the only tea
estate existing in the state of Sikkim, India. The Temi
Tea Garden Estate produces one of the top quality teas in
