Wild Mahseer,

ASSAM

A 22-acre certified organic property, Wild Mahseer is more than your average heritage hotel. Originally a colonial-era tea estate located on the outskirts of the city of Tezpur, the property has transformed into a biodiverse haven with over 1,00,000 plants, 90 bird species, and 72 species of butterflies. It shares land with the Eastern Himalayan Botanic Ark, which functions as an ex-situ conservation centre and nursery for afforestation programmes in Balipara Reserve Forest. It is a centre for research, experimentation, documentation, and education on the biodiversity of the region, and also propagates knowledge about the nearby tribal communities. Wild Mahseer offers guests five multi-room bungalows and a one-bedroom cottage as stay options. The property is equipped with a dining pavillion and conference facilities too.
