Journey to the Hathikuli Plantation
Located in the cultural melting pot of Assam, the Hathikuli estate is the largest integrated organic farm in India. Tea production has been a way of life here for generations, and the distinct remoteness of the landscape means the local community has lived in much the same way for hundreds of years. An indication of just how rural this farm really is, the estate was named both 'hati', after the Assamese word for elephant, and 'kuli' the word for frequent, making the meaning 'a place frequented by elephants'.
