Wild Mahseer

On the way from Guwahati airport to Bhalukpong, this amazing estate near tea plantations at Tezpur were a welcome addition to our trip . Huge rooms, glamorous lobby and tastefully decorated verandahs reflected their colonial origin ! And to top it off it was surrounded by lush greenery! All foods and beverages are included in the cost, and the before dinner bonfire and music is a must-not- miss experience!

A quaint colonial property situated in lap of brahmaputra region. It is a very calm and beautiful place with lovely old colonial time bungalows.If you are looking to be away from hustle bustle then this is the best place to stay. The food they make inhouse is a simple and tasty food. The only flipside is that they have wierd checkin and checkout time and they are not at all accomodtive.Before you go i suggest you check with them about that and reconfirm.Secondly, the manager of the property hushed us aside which was not appreciated. The manager of the property does need a lesson to learn on how to be courteous to the guests and even if he could not show us he could have polite informed us about the same instead of acting rude. My one minus rating is due to that.He definitely needs to learn the lesson on hospitality.

We were six couples and stayed here for one night-27th March. A lovely property so well kept. The general manager personally took us around the property and the manager Deepak took us around to the tea garden adjoining the property. The bada Bunglow comprising of four bed rooms could remind you of the tea estate managing Englishman living in style. The food was excellent and so was the staff.

What an experience of the unique charm of Wild Mahseer, a hidden gem nestled in the Brahmaputra valley. The property's allure lies not only in its lush tea gardens but also in the rich history and nature that envelops it. As soon as you step onto this environmental heritage site, you're transported into a world where time seems to stand still. The Eastern Himalayan Botanic Ark, a bio-diverse haven at Wild Mahseer, is a testament to the meticulous care and passion of the local communities. The ark is a living canvas of cultural inheritance, blending seamlessly with the lush surroundings. The 1000 years of environmental heritage and 150 years of cultural inheritance are palpable in every corner. The property exudes a sense of tranquility and authenticity that allowed us to craft unforgettable memories amid the tea gardens and national parks of Assam. A stay at Wild Mahseer is not just accommodation; it's an immersion into the rich tapestry of Assam's history and nature. Highly recommended for those seeking an escape into the heart of the Eastern Himalayas.

We self drove from Guwahati airport & it was a comfortable 5 hour journey to WM. Lunch was waiting for us at the lovely bright Glass House surrounded by greenery & nicely done up with white wicker furniture, colourful cushions, table ware.T he manager,Manish came in shortly & chatted with us over a late lunch. We had booked Golden Tips & they gave us the largest & best room in the bungalow. The estate is quite large & completely covered in vegetation & ancient trees. There are several bungalows on the property & each are serviced by their own wait staff who are always present. There is a common sitting room with couches, coffee tables & lamps, the walls adorned with safari themed art & ceramic plates.The rooms are a bit tired but in such lush surrounds one is hardly in the room anyway. There is a bonfire every evening outside the dining hall with a local band playing.....soup & snacks are served & one can order their drinks from the bar....the food was adequate & good.We went for long walks in the adjoining tea gardens, capturing an amazing sunset. The next day we went early morning for a walking safari in the Nameri NP. Afterwards we crossed the border into ********* Pradesh & took a long drive. Since we were the only ones on the property that night we were joined by Manish at the bonfire & he surprised me with an upgrade to the Burra Bungalow! A beautiful bungalow remniscient of our colonial past eclectically done up with a mix of the old & new, large colourful paintings & some lovely furniture, each corner was a visual treat. We were given the best room which was huge with a even larger bathroom covered in rugs. The covered verandah with its wicker seating looking out into the fabulous garden outside was my favourite part. The extensive gardens outside the Burra Bungalow was the size of a small park. We enjoyed our 2 days at the WM thanks to Manish & the very attentive staff.

We were a group of 8 staying 3 nights specifically in that area so my husband and his sister could return to their childhood home on a nearby tea plantation for a visit. The Manager was noticeable only by his absence and the occasional fleeting 2 min visit to the dining area on two evenings. It was quite evident that the lodge was badly managed, there was little coordination between staff members, a packed breakfast for an early start did not materialise and the food was in general of a questionable quality. The rooms were a little tired and perhaps new pillows could be purchased for future guests.
