There are only six rooms at Mancotta Heritage Chang Bungalow. Each room is named after a tributary of the Brahmaputra. The two master bedrooms on the first floor are Siang and Dihang, each with a double bed. Padma and Yamuna are twins on the ground floor. Lohit and Manas are comfortable single rooms in the annex at the back of the cottage. Each of the rooms has been carefully renovated. There is no flash and no panache. The rooms are simple, tasteful and elegant. And, one imagines, not too dissimilar to how they would have been when Mr Hayes vacated in the 1970s. Enjoy cups of bright and bold Assamese tea throughout the day. And when the sun begins to set, at dusk take a wander through the neatly pruned tea fields. One of the most pleasant things about Mancotta Heritage Change is the peace and serenity.
Travelling southwest of Dibrugarh, roughly adjacent to the Brahmaputra, one can reach the ancient town of Sivasagar. There see the ruins of the Ahom Kingdom – the rulers of which came from eastern Myanmar. East of Dibrugarh there is the town of Digboi (oil museum, bunker and the Commonwealth War Graves). At Margherita see the little shop of curiosities lovingly assembled by the townspeople. Why not start with the bungalow’s raison d`etre and take a tea tour through the factory. Meet the tea pluckers and the managers – and find out what goes into making the perfect cuppa! Inspect the plants and see the production line. End with a tea tasting.
