A walk that takes between 1 -2 hrs. mainly walking through the tea fields and interacting with the locals while they harvest tea and care at the nursery beds. It’s a very special experience where the locals try to teach and explain the whole process of growing and harvesting tea. You also learn about different types of tea and their gestation period. On request, our guides can organize a visit to a nearby tea factory (if it’s the right day for visitors to the factory)
It is an interesting activity that may take you around to 2-3 hrs from Chimpanzee Forest Guest House and walk around the three crater lakes to point out spots for birds.
