Wild Mahseer

We were 3 couples and we stayed at the Wild Masheer for one night. We were returning from ********* and heading to Guwahati. We stayed at one of the tea bungalows. The bungalow was grand, had exquisite furniture and huge well appointed rooms. The bathroom was luxurious. The bungalow had 2 living rooms and a dinning room. Meals are not served in the bungalow. Each bungalow has an attentive staff that takes care of the needs of the guests including preparing tea and coffee. The food served at the dinning pavillion was tasty and freshly cooked. The ambience in the pavillion was beautiful and relaxing. The doors open into a garden area where a bonfire is lit every evening. Mr. Saikia took us on a tour of the Burra Bungalow. It was absolutely stunning with innumberable artefacts, exquisite furniture, enormous beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathroom and large verandahs. I would recommend doing the nature walk, tea garden walk and visiting the Burra Bungalow. The entire property is charming, colonial and verdant. This is definitely a place where I would recommend staying for 2 nights to unwind, relax and slow down. The only downside we experienced was the approach to the property. We were headed there on a Saturday afternoon and the approach was completely blocked by the weekly market that was sprawled over a large area including the approach road. We took more than an hour to cover a distance of 750 meters. A frustrating experience. I would also suggest putting up clear signage leading to the property.

Stayed one night on recommendation of local friends. Did not disappoint. Authentic tea garden experience complete with personalized attentive service, freshly cooked meals, evening entertainment, bonfire, nature activities and of course Assam tea served everywhere we went. The artwork is very well maintained and bungalow infrastructure well upgraded. Tips to make stay enjoyable - do not make eye contact with the monkeys, some nature activities are seasonal and if you have your heart set on a particular activity call in advance. Found the management very cooperative!

Great stay for a colonial experience. The cottages were comfortable with large common areas. One must do both the tea garden and botanical garden walks. (30-45 mis each) Staff is courteous and well mannered. The resort operates on an all inclusive basis. However food was not upto the mark. Dinner was a basic Indian meal with one non vegetarian dish and only fruit cream for desert. Stayed at other resorts close by and they offer a choice of menus which the guest needs to choose in advance. Breakfast also was basic with only cornflakes or chocos and eggs to order or an Indian option.
