Thengal Manor

★★★★☆

Thengal Manor is a country house in the tea gardens outside Jorhat, built in 1880 by the Barooah family, who still own it. The house is little changed. Wide verandas, high ceilings, old furniture, family portraits, a library. The first Assamese-language daily newspaper was printed here. There are only a handful of rooms, so it is quiet, and meals are Assamese home cooking. The gardens run to the tea, and a walk before breakfast is part of the stay. Majuli, the gibbon sanctuary and Sivasagar are all day trips from here. It is the way to stay in the tea country rather than pass through it, and the luxury choice for a Jorhat leg built around heritage and tea.
