Just 3 km from the busy town of Kurseong lies the Singell Tea Garden surrounded by alpine villages and luxuriant tea plantations. Situated at an altitude of 5000 feet above sea level, this lesser known destination is quickly becoming a hotspot of tea tourism. At Singell, you will be surrounded by green tea plantations, lofty mountains and soul-soothing peace and serenity. You can visit the tea estate factory, take an inside tour and watch tea processing and plucking of leaves. If you feel too lazy, just sit in the balcony of your homestay and watch the panorama unfold in front of your eyes. On one side, there is the lush green tea estate and on the other side the mighty mountains. You can pass some time watching the usual busy stream of vehicles travelling on the Hill Cart Road at a distance. And when you hear a whistle, don't forget to behold the sight of a toy train chugging along the narrow gauge track.
