Gorkha Tea Estate: A Serene Retreat in Nature's Lap

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Mechi Zone. Take the Mechi Highway (also known as East-West Highway) and head towards Suryodaya. Follow the signs for Suryodaya and continue driving for approximately 30 kilometers. As you approach Suryodaya, look for the intersection leading to Phikkal Bazar. Take a left turn at this intersection. Continue for about 5 kilometers until you reach the coordinates W38J+PF3. Gorkha Tea Estate Pvt. Ltd. will be located on your right-hand side. Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel as there are limited gas stations in the area.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a local bus from the main bus station in Mechi Zone heading toward Suryodaya. Buses run frequently throughout the day, and the fare is approximately NPR 50. Inform the driver that you want to get off at Phikkal Bazar. Once you arrive at Phikkal Bazar, you can either walk or take a local taxi for the remaining 5 kilometers to Gorkha Tea Estate Pvt. Ltd. The taxi fare should be around NPR 200 to NPR 300. Make sure to negotiate the fare before starting your ride.

• Walking

  If you are already in Suryodaya or Phikkal Bazar and prefer to walk, you can reach Gorkha Tea Estate Pvt. Ltd. on foot. From Phikkal Bazar, head north on the main road for about 5 kilometers. The route is relatively straightforward, with clear signage directing you to the tea estate. It may take approximately 1 hour to walk this distance, so wear comfortable shoes and carry water, especially if it's a sunny day.
