Ilam is one of the richest districts in Nepal in terms of its bio-cultural diversity, natural landscape and flourishing professionalism in agricultural especially in cash crops sector and it is the most famous district of Nepal for production of tea. It is also widely famous for 6 major cash crops, all initiating from the same vowel sound in Nepali, potato, cardamom, ginger, red round chilly, milk and broom grass.
We love to bring our guests to Ilam to stroll in the small bazaar, pluck tea with the ladies working in the chiya bagaans (tea gardens) and visit the local handicraft and food productions.
It is not a common place for tourism and so apprectiated that our group actually ended up in the national news!
