Tea Gardens & Local Walks

Step off the porch and straight into the sprawling tea estates and vibrant orange orchards of Upper-Middle Sittong.

Meghbitan Homestay is positioned directly amidst the working tea gardens of Sittong. Guests can step out of their cottages and immediately begin walking the Thamdara Tea Garden Road. Beyond the estates, local village walks lead to seasonal orange orchards, while short drives connect you to major viewpoints like Ahaldara and the serene Namthing Lake. Whether you prefer a casual morning stroll or a guided uphill trek, the landscape is entirely accessible.
