Experience northeast India like never before at The Postcard in the Durrung Tea Estate, Assam

Continuing its tradition of offering transformative and intimate luxury holidays, The Postcard Hotel has announced the opening of its newest property in the North-Eastern region of India.

“The opening of The Postcard in the Durrung Tea Estate marks another important milestone in our commitment to creating extraordinary luxury experiences for our guests in India and across the globe,” says Kapil Chopra, Founder and CEO of The Postcard Hotel. “Our latest hotel in North East India allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the region’s rich culture and abundant nature, all while enjoying the unmatched hospitality that The Postcard team is known for.” Chopra adds, “An homage to Assam, this destination reflects the region’s deep-rooted traditions, warm-hearted people, and stunning landscapes. It offers a rare opportunity to explore the wonders of India’s Northeast, alongside indulging in some of the world’s finest teas.”

Set amidst the lush expanse of a verdant tea estate, the hotel invites guests to experience a one-of-a-kind retreat. Visitors can choose to stay in the carefully restored Planters’ Bungalow, a charming colonial-era relic, or in the contemporary Luxury Chalets nestled within the tea gardens. Both accommodations retain their authentic character, offering glimpses into the early days of India’s tea industry, complemented by awe-inspiring views of Assam’s unspoiled landscapes. While the Planters’ Bungalow captures the grandeur of a bygone era, the Luxury Chalets offer a seamless blend of modern luxury and the peaceful beauty of the surrounding nature.

“The natural beauty of the area was our primary inspiration when conceptualizing The Postcard at Durrung Tea Estate,” says Kapil Chopra. “The spacious indoor and outdoor spaces, designed to invite the sights and sounds of nature, set the stage for a unique guest experience, encouraging self-discovery and relaxation.”

Beyond the tea estate, the hotel serves as a gateway to some of Assam’s most iconic experiences. Guests can explore the wilderness of Kaziranga National Park, home to the endangered one-horned rhinoceros, or marvel at the breathtaking beauty of Nameri National Park, a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. For the adventurous, activities such as rafting on the Jia Bhoroli River are available, while cultural explorers can visit Pakke, a vibrant area rich in Assam’s artisanal crafts and traditions.

The culinary offerings at The Postcard in the Durrung Tea Estate are a tribute to Assam’s diverse cultural heritage. The menu draws inspiration from the culinary traditions of the Singpho and Ahom tribes, featuring authentic dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can savor flavors that reflect the region’s rich history, from hearty tribal recipes to delicacies infused with Assam’s signature herbs and spices.

The Postcard in the Durrung Tea Estate captures the very essence of the region, offering guests a luxurious fusion of culture, nature, and indulgence. With its thoughtful design, immersive experiences, and deep connection to the destination, the hotel promises to deliver a transformative journey into the heart of India’s tea country.
