Charismatic Ilam is famous for its enchanting natural scenery and landscapes, tea production, and diverse agricultural economy. Shree Antu Danda (around 2,300m) lies in the Ilam district in eastern Nepal, right on the border in Darjeeling/India and south of Kanchenjunga (8586m), the world’s third highest mountain. Discover Ilam Community Homestay and its beauty.
Ilam is Nepal’s main tea-growing area. It is home to a variety of ethnicities, such as Limbu, Rai, Lepcha, Magar, Tamang, and others. Besides exploring the socio-cultural traits of the people in this area and enjoying the scenic view of the rolling hills covered with tea plantations and the lush green of the surrounding jungle, we can visit one of the tea estates.
No matter how much we try to put it into words, the beauty of Ilam cannot be described in one writing. Here are the good times that we experienced in Ilam, around Antu Homestay.
