Banyan Grove, Jorhat

★★★☆☆

Banyan Grove is a colonial tea bungalow on the Gatoonga estate, a few kilometres from Jorhat, run as a small heritage hotel. It is a working planter's bungalow: a long low house with a deep veranda, set in a garden among the tea. The rooms are large and plain, in a period style, and the food is Assamese and planter's-club English. The estate around it is still picked and processed, and a walk through the gardens with the manager is easily arranged. It is a short drive to Nimati Ghat for the Majuli ferry and to the gibbon sanctuary. It is the premium option for a Jorhat stay that puts the tea garden first, at a gentler price than the manor.
