ABOUT US

We are a boutique tour operating company, based in the Camellia town of Dibrugarh,
Assam. The name Camellia is from the flower of the tea plant species. It all began in
2000 with the idea of promoting 'tea tourism' in Upper Assam. Since then we have
graduated to covering the entire north-eastern region of the country, with our prime
focus on Assam. All our tours are tailor made to suit the requirements of our guests
and we are dedicated to provide to them a unique destination experience, while
ensuring that they return home with a sense of belonging to the place and kinship
with the people of the areas visited by them. We are pioneers in converting our tea
plantation bungalows, which are boutique properties with 03-04 rooms, as places for
guests to stay while they are in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia
(www.purvidiscovery.com/hotels).

As a company, we strongly believe in responsible tourism and have always kept in

mind the importance of meaningful community participation, engagement and
giving back. Our guests can visit local communities, engage with local people, enjoy
local cuisines and experience different lifestyles, traditions, cultures and contexts.
Moreover, during their stay in one of our tea-plantations in Assam, our guests can
also chose to volunteer for and spend time with the children of a tea plantation
primary school. We believe that a few hours a day of reading together, singing
songs, dancing and playing sports with people from around the globe, can add
immense value and open windows to the world for our children in the plantations,
who are otherwise cut off from the rest of the world and are limited by deprivation
and marginalisation.
Mishmi Retreat: The Ideal Hotel In
The Heart Of Assam
How would you like to live in a wooden hut, fitted with the bare necessities of
modern lifestyle, right in the middle of a place surrounded by hills?

That is what you get at Mishmi Retreat, one of the most famous hotels of Purvi
Discovery. The name Mishmi comes from the name of the surrounding hills, Mishmi.
The Mishmi Retreat, the conglomerate of 4 wooden huts, is the property developed
and maintained by our team, with local support in the form of manpower and
logistics. Located right in the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, at this property you
will get the best of North East India.

To take you through the basics of this ecstatic residence, there are 4 huts, each with
a little space for a sit-out. If you don’t feel like venturing out on someday, you can
simply put your feet up and relax in this area, overlooking the beautiful Mishmi hills.
The washroom is a separate area, made of concrete. To ensure that you don’t feel
inconvenience in this architectural setup, the washrooms are fitted with modern
amenities.Hot water is provided only in buckets. Logistical issues, along with
inconsistent power backup, make it difficult for geysers to be installed.

The residential rooms themselves are particularly cozy, inviting and comfortable,
especially after an adventurous day hunting for the right visual landscape around
you. There are mosquito nets in every room to keep you protected from vector-borne
diseases. You will surely fall in love with the decor, made of wood and cane. In the
central dining space, there’s an imitation of the fireplaces found in Mishmi homes.
This kind of decor and conceptualization opens up the lifestyle of the people living
around you as you stay at Mishmi Retreat.

When you come to Assam to explore the North East, you must stay at Mishmi. It
gives you a perspective of what local life is, and how tradition has dictated the lives
of the people here especially if you are fond of the rural lifestyle. You can even live
their life partially in the few days that you stay here, an experience that will stay
with you for the rest of the years. Instead of opting for hotel rooms that all look the
same, you can stay with Purvi Discovery for a different, enriching experience.

State Of The Rising Sun: Arunachal

Pradesh
Among the states in the North East, Arunachal Pradesh lies at the eastern end of the
political boundary of India. You can say that this is the state of the country that
greets the rising sun before anyone else! As is the geographical location, this state
shares boundaries with three countries, namely Myanmar, Bhutan and China. There
is simmering tension along the border with China once in a while but that has not
dented the state’s reputation as a prime tourist attraction for tourists coming in from
Europe and USA, and globally in general.
Among the tourist destinations that are unique to Arunachal Pradesh, you have to
name the Parashuran Kund. This is a holy place here, located in the lower shores of
the Lohit river. Kund means a pond or a lake and Parashuram is another name for
Lord Shiva, a Hindu God. Devotees across the world visit the Parashuram Kund
during the Indian Harvest Festival or the Makar Sankranti. The scenic beauty of the
place, coupled with the wonderful natural ambiance of it, makes it a must-visit on a
tourist’s map of Arunachal Pradesh.

The Namdapha National Park, a tiger reserve, holds a pride of place in the world as
one of the last remaining evergreen forests. It is perched between the Patkai
Mountains, a range bringing up the eastern flank of the Himalayas and the country
of Myanmar. Two rivers, Namdapha and Noa-dihing, supply the water to this tiger
reserve, along with several small streams. The diversity of the flora and fauna in this
place is quite staggering, inviting the academic and tourism interests of people
globally. This is also home to tribes like Tangsa, Lisu and Singpho.

Next up is Pasighat, situated on the banks of the Siang river, a tributary of the
humongous river Brahmaputra. You will get a view of the snow-capped Himalayan
mountains from this place, along with a rich and diverse flora and fauna. The
diversity of the land attracts the attention of explorers and adventure lovers. As is
the case with other destinations in the North East, Pasighat is also home to tribals
who are as part of the landscape and the beauty of the place as the scenic
Himalayas.

Arunachal Pradesh is a beautiful place for a relaxing and invigorating time.

A Tea Lover’s Heaven At

Chowkidinghee, Assam
At the center of Dibrugarh district in Assam, there’s a place called Chowkidinghee,
probably named after a brave and popular tribal leader by the name
of Chowkidinghee Gohain. Over the ages and decades, the place has acquired the
name of Chowkidinghee in a sort of merging of local dialects with the language
spoken by the tea garden owners and plantation workers, usually British in origin
and descent. By the very name of the place, you can get a measure of the world we
are talking about here!
Welcome to the very heartland of the tea garden sector in Assam, probably the most
prolific producer of excellent quality tea that is exported globally. Purvi Discovery has
bought and renovated the properties that were previously owned and maintained by
tea owners and companies dating back to the British occupation of India. Keeping
the essence and the feel of the place intact, we have developed the properties to
convert them into hotels and bungalows for tourists coming in from Europe and USA.

There used to be something called the Chowkidinghee Tea Estate some decades ago.
The building or structure originally inhabiting this place has truly faced the ravages
of time, including some deadly floods that washed away miles of Dibrugarh territory.
You can witness its struggle to stand erect by dents suffered by the original iron
beam pillars that hold up the bungalow. When you book hotel rooms with Purvi
Discovery, or the bungalow in entirety, you will live in a place that is awashed with
the aroma of freshly cut tea leaves wafting in from the tea gardens and factories
lying around.

This is living in the midst of a tea lover’s heaven! The bungalow at Chowkidinghee
has verandahs that are attached to the rooms. You can sit out in the balmy evenings
while you enjoy the ambiance, with a cup of freshly brewed Assam tea. Tourists
coming in after living busy urban lives seldom want to go back after staying for a
night or two here at Chowkidinghee! It’s almost like a parallel universe to the
otherwise urban existence that you find the world over. Once you visit and stay, this
unique experience opens up to you.

Book hotels and bungalows with Purvi Discovery and cherish that experience.
Discover The Abode Of Clouds With
Purvi Discovery
One of the more important tourist destinations in the North East of India is the small
state of Meghalaya. Through the political boundaries of the state are not that
expansive, its unique position on the tourist map of the country cannot be ignored.
Meghalaya, meaning the Abode of Clouds, is famous for its waterfalls and caves.
These dot the entire state, with other diverse tourist attractions like the Living Root
Bridge or the Cleanest Village in India, Mawlynnong.

The capital city of Meghalaya is Shillong. It still bears the remnants of a bygone era,
with its beautiful churches and official buildings. The market place is throbbing with
activity and you will find commercial products that define how modern civilization
has made inroads into this faraway place. There are major tourist attractions in
Sikkim, like the Elephant Falls. It is a tiered waterfall that looks beautiful just after
the monsoon season comes to an end, or right after a night of rainfall. There are
caves as well that you can visit.

A chief attraction for tourists visiting Meghalaya is Cherrapunjee, or Sohra, as the

locals like to call the place. The name sounds familiar to you because Cherrapunjee
records the highest rainfall in the world, especially a place called Mawsynram. You
will find several waterfalls in the Cherrapunjee area, like the Seven Sister Falls. You
can also visit an exotic world of underground caves in Mausmai Caves. There are
electrical lights fitted to help you walk around in the otherwise dark, damp cave. You
might find a bat or two flying towards you as you walk around! It certainly feels quite
eerie down there.

The Living Root Bridge at Mawlynnong is another tourist spot. The bridge is made up
of two roots hinged together over centuries. You can walk on the bridge and see for
yourself how intricately the two roots are enjoined. Mawlynnong also happens to be
the cleanest village in India, a distinction it has earned entirely due to the hard work
of the villagers. The roads are quaint and beautifully painted here and there. The
homes and the areas adjoined look well-swept and laboriously maintained. You will
love the peace and the quiet.

Add to this the beautiful weather and clouds gathering even on the driveway and
you have every reason to visit Meghalaya this holiday season.

Heritage Tea Rides In The Gardens Of

Assam

You must have seen in some movie or the other how a tea planter would travel
through the winding paths of a terraced tea garden on a horse. It presented such an
idyllic picture that you were instantly drawn to the image and very much wanted to
set a destination for yourself at some point of your life. At the very least, you wanted
to take that trip through a tea garden of this part of north east-India on horseback.
Now, with the Heritage Tea Rides packages of Purvi Discovery, you can actually do
that through the reputed tea estates of Assam!
Purvi Discovery have a tour package of 9 nights and 10 days that will take you
through the tea gardens of this part of North east India, and much more. The mighty
river Brahmaputra snakes through the state of Assam before plunging straight into
Bangladesh. Other than the monsoon season, when the Brahmaputra transforms
into a scary avatar, you can course through the banks of the river on
horseback.There are several tea gardens bordering the banks of this river, along
with rural settlements and grasslands. You can take a lazy stroll through these scenic
spots on our tea ride package. You can even enjoy lunch on a tree house!

If you are feeling a little concerned about the laidback nature of this package, how
about some kayaking on this very river? Yes, you can voyage on our Dibrugarh-
Rukmini cruise segment. Here, you can take a river cruise that drops you to an
island. Have your lunch there and if you are up for the adventurous tour, indulge in
some kayaking before returning back to the mainland hotel for the night. Next up is
the Dibrugarh-Greenwood trail, another walk through the tea gardens in Dibrugarh.

As for the tea gardens in Dibrugarh, they are miniature tourist spots in themselves.
You have something like the Jalannagar Tea Estate which has been around for
decades. Here you will come into close contact with tea plantations that are
responsible for the best quality CTC leaves. You will love to know the intricate details
of tea plantation from the very experienced personnel who handle these plantations.
They merge traditional knowledge with modern innovations to produce the best
quality tea, renowned all over the world.

When you take this Heritage Tea Walk, you will take back cherished memories.

Feel The Heartbeat Of Tribal Life Of

Nagaland
A tourist spot isn’t just about scenic landscapes and beautiful landmarks. It is also
about the people who live there. It is about a certain way of life that may be alien to
yours. The more you dig deeper into remote locations of the world, the more likely
you are to unearth a world that is far removed from yours. Tourists from USA and
Europe want to visit North East India for this very reason and love to live the
virtual tribal life of Nagaland. Cocooned as this world is by the Himalayas and a
rough terrain, they are somewhat caught in a time warp.

A visit to Nagaland opens up this world for you. Home to more than 15 tribes, this
land is as peculiar as it is exquisite. You will find this state a small dot on the map of
India. Yet, you visit this place and find it an amalgamation of everything that is
aesthetic in the world. The very different ways of life that people lead here is itself
fascinating to experience. Different cultures, cuisines and convictions exist side by
side on a daily roller coaster of a ride. Bordered by other North East states, Nagaland
is where you will find something for adventure seekers as well as for people who
would want to sleep in the lap of the nature and surrender themselves to north
eastern destination.

Kohima is the capital city of Nagaland and by far its most developed area. Even so,
you will find the place to be outlined with quaint cemeteries and churches and
chapels. The official language of the state is English so you will seldom find it
difficult to communicate with the locals living in Kohima. There are state museums
to showcase the thriving tribal life of the people, with their handicrafts, models of
their huts and even replicas of their traditional tribal weapons. Take a bit of a ride
outside the city limits of Kohima and you will find yourself in green mountain tops
and valleys.

If you want to explore tribal life, head straight for the village of Mon. You will find
tribals with oriental tattoos on their faces, turning up in traditional costumes, usually
warlike. Wood carvings are their speciality and you can carry mementos home that
you can place on your mantelpiece.

Nagaland is a place for people who want to experience life more than landmarks.

Experience The Charm Of Tea Garden

Bungalows In Assam
Have you stayed in a bungalow adjacent to a tea garden in Assam? If your answer is
no, you have missed on one of the majestic and royal experiences ever! Tea lovers,
and tea enthusiasts, all over the globe are charmed and lured by the romance of tea
garden bungalows. Originally built by tea plantation owners, these bungalows have
their unique charm and visual appeal. Tea garden bungalows in Assam are no
different. Each has their own individuality and once you have stayed in one, you
would give just about anything to revisit and stay in another.
Let’s talk a little about what makes these tea garden bungalows so unique. For
starters, these bungalows were built by plantation owners and managerial staff
working on behalf of British tea garden owners. Because most of them could not
personally visit the location and comment on the architecture and designing, the
decisions of the construction and blueprints were left to the commanding officers.
The bungalows in Assam throw up an eclectic mix of architectural designing as a
result of this liberty.

There is an odd mishmash of styles, combining disparate elements into the

bungalows which made sure that not one of them looked like another! It’s a question
of great joy and excitement to stay in one of them during a vacation. It’s quite easy
as well to book tea garden bungalows in Assam, thanks to Purvi Discovery. You can
also book hotels in the vicinity of tea gardens, with the same kind of charm and
unique ambience.

As is obvious, these tea gardens were laid and maintained for decades. The older
constructions were razed and the modern buildings went up with all the trappings of
modern luxury and amenities. Yet, the bungalows of Purvi Discovery have not failed
to maintain their unique charm and ambience, the original factor that pulled tourists
from all over the world, especially Europe and America. There are packages that will
cover your stay at these hotels and bungalows, along with tours taking you to the
heart of the tea garden countryside.

Words will not be enough to describe the charm of tea garden hotels and bungalows
in Assam. You need to visit once, more so during the peak seasons.

What To Expect In Purvi Hotels In

Assam
Once you have decided to visit the North East, specifically Assam, you need to book
hotels that give you an opportunity to stay right at the heart of this place. As you
know, Assam is defined largely by the expansive tea gardens that dot this Indian
state. In tourist destinations like Tinsukia and Dibrugarh, tea garden tourism is the
prime attraction for tourists coming from faraway places like the USA and European
countries. The hotels of Purvi Discovery have that centrality of location that gives
you the chance to live right in the lap of these tea gardens.

Some of the properties owned by Purvi Discovery were bought from tea estates
dating back to the British occupation of India. Several of the erstwhile tea estate
companies of the British Raj decided to sell their establishments after the Indian
independence. Purvi Discovery has acquired these properties, some dating back to
the 1970s. After procuring them from the tea estates, we have worked on building
up these bungalows and hotels with the trappings of modern luxury, yet retaining
their deep connection with its roots.

For example, our bungalow at the Mancotta Tea Estate does not have any iron nails
on the flooring! In its entirety, the flooring is done by wooden nails designed and
built by Chinese artisans. It stands on stilts, locally known as ‘chang ghars’. The
bungalows were initially designed for the residence of tea estate owners and
managers. So, there is provision for every required to live in the place, with
impeccable drainage systems, all developed with traditional knowledge unique to
this geographical location. We have only updated the old structures to accommodate
it for modern living.

Staying at our hotels and bungalows like the one at the Mancotta tea estate will give
you a unique insight into the life at a tea garden, an obsession for many tea lovers
across the world. The romance of tea gardens is among the most endearing
obsessions. You can actually experience what you have read about in books about
tea gardens in Assam by staying at our hotels here. These establishments have all
the requirements of a modern life, yet rooted as they are in the strong ambience of a
tea garden.

You should visit this place at least once!

Travel Packages

how much you enjoy your stay there. There are hotels right in the heart of the city,
with the din and bustle of city life always alive and throbbing around it. On the other

Searching For Hotels In Assam? What
Points To Consider?
Assam is a beautiful place. It’s obvious that you have heard about the exquisite
beauty of this place, judging from your decision to visit this North Eastern state of
India. However, no matter how much you hear about Assam from people who have
travelled there, or from the internet, or from tour organizers & operators of Assam,
nothing quite prepares you to what you actually experience. It’s a trip that you will
remember for a long time.

To ensure that nothing takes away from your wonderful time here, you should book
hotels in Assam before you reach there. This will make your trip smoother and you
can make the most of your time there, which would have otherwise been wasted
hotel hunting.

To help you book Assam hotels, here’s a quick guide on what you should look for!

To start with, your hotel should be ideally located. It need not be in the centre of the
city, but it should definitely be in a place where you can actually feel the ambiance
of Assam. The din and bustle of cities are the same everywhere. You will not
experience anything unique if you book a hotel right in the middle of a busy bazaar!
Instead, a place to stay in the tea gardens of Assam, like our hotels in Dibrugarh
or Tinsukia, will enhance the experience of your stay here.

Similarly, when you book hotels, it should be able to able to help you connect with
the local culture and cuisine. A five-star accommodation does not mean that the
hotel will uproot you from the local flavour, giving you only a synthetic and artificial
feel of the place. That defeats the purpose of visiting different places, when all
seems to look and feel like the same one! Instead, our hotels will make sure that you
get to soak in the local flavour, complete with food and cultural connections.

Finally, the staff of the hotels in Assam can raise your enjoyment quite a few notches
with their behaviour and hospitality. This is the highpoint of a stay with us, with our
staff doing their best to give you a good time while you are in our hotels.

Think Assam, think Purvi Discovery.

The Romance Of Tea Gardens In

Assam
Traditionally speaking, tea gardens are more synonymous with the hill town of
Darjeeling in West Bengal. However, the tea gardens in Assam rank higher in terms
of production, most of which is exported to the global tea markets. There are a
number of tea estates and gardens in Assam, especially in areas
like Dibrugarh and Tinsukia. A tour to Assam is futile without basking in the
romance of the tea gardens. And as an experienced North East India tour operator,
we can assure you that your tour to NE India is incomplete without visiting the tea
estates and staying at least one night in a tea garden.

Tea gardens have a beauty inherent in them. You may feel that there is nothing
worth visiting gardens with evenly pruned tea stalks, greenery all around. That is
usually the idea you perceive from photographs. Once you actually step into a tea
garden, your experience will be quite different. You will fall in love with the
symmetry of the place: nothing is out of place. The tea stalks, the paths, the
irrigation system and everything blend together in a beautifully organized frame.
This world of order and silence will lure you by its charm.
Book rooms at our Mancotta Heritage Chang Bungalow in Dibrugarh and stay over
for a night at least. Visit the nearby Jalan Nagar Tea Estate, or the Khanikar Tea
Estate, at a distance of about 15 minutes from the former one. These tea estates
have been around for decades. With our Heritage Tea Ride tour package, you will
find everything you have read about tea gardens in books and magazines. There are
tea pickers with wicker baskets on their backs, smiling and chatting as they work.
These workers are often Bangladeshi immigrants who have crossed over to Assam.
They are quite friendly and you can learn a lot about the process of cultivating tea
from them.

The weather, especially during the months of October to April is quite pleasant. You
can hang around in the tea gardens till late in the evening. These tea gardens don’t
just sell tea, among the best in the world. Some establishments also serve tea and
you can sip on it while you soak in the wonderful ambiance of the place. Stay at the
Purvi Discovery hotels in Dibrugarh or book a bungalow if you are with friends and
extended family.

Assam, and the whole of North East in general, has a beguiling pull on people. Once
you are there, you will want to return again! Experience the romance of tea gardens
while you are there. It will give you memories of a lifetime.
Assam Tour Packages By Purvi
Discovery: What You Will See?
Assam is one of those rare destinations on the tourist map of India which changes
texture and ambiance with the change of seasons. The beauty of Assam that you
will find in the main three seasons of the country, winter, summer and monsoon,
are quite diverse from each other. The land of beautiful river sceneries and green
mountains, coupled with thick romantic jungles full of wildlife, radiate in their
unique seasonal colours. However, if you want to soak up the true spirit of Assam,
you should book Assam tour packages during winter.

The ideal time to visit this state is from the month of October to March. This is when
the temperature is within comfortable limits, with the maximum hovering around 25
degrees Celsius and the lower mark not breaching the limit of 8 degrees Celsius.
With the sun out during the day, you don’t need heavy woollens but as a traveller
from the plains, who are used to hot, dusty weather, it is wise to carry light woollens
for the evening and night. Post sunset, the temperature can shoot down drastically.

The main attraction of Assam, the Kaziranga National Park, looks beautiful and
mesmerizing during winter and spring time. The wildlife shows itself out to enjoy
the sunlight and you can find them lurking around here and there. Birds of many
rare species can be seen in winter. They are usually migratory in nature and you
will not find them when you visit Assam during the summer or the monsoon.

Another attraction of booking Assam tour packages in winter is the captivating views
of river cruises down the Brahmaputra. The light fog hanging over the river in the
early morning accentuates its beauty in a way that cannot be described in words.
River cruises will lead you to some island temples like the famous Umananda
Temple. It is during winter that you can make trips to the Kaziranga National
Orchid and Biodiversity Park, a site where you will find flowers unique to this
region and habitat.

Winter is also the season when the Assamese celebrate their largest festival, Bihu.
Other festivals like the Rongali and the Elephant Festival are also celebrated during
winter. So, you don’t just get to savour the sights and sounds of the place, but also
engage with it culturally. That is why visiting Assam in winter is a win-win for all.
