Tea Tasting at Singtom is an experience by itself. One must try it here because you will not only get the opportunity of tasting a range of finest tea of the gardens here which have been commanding heavy price in oversea market. Tea Plucking Tour is a lovely sight to see women plucking tea. Note that plucking doesn't take place in the winter from December to February, and this is when the factory also does not process tea. One can get to understand the delicate process of tea plucking from an expert garden worker. Tea leave plucking is a special art and women are found to be more efficient and consistent than men. Most garden workers are Nepali women. Only the shoots with two leaves and a bud can be plucked. There are four trekking trails that wind around the slopes of the hills and each offers walks through vast stretches of tea bushes, forested lands and sights of flora & fauna, lovely waterfalls and Kanchenjunga snow peaks.
