What to do
A 90 km flat Terai circuit from Damak through the tea estates at Budhabare and Tokla, across to Birtamod, down to the Mechi River bank at Mechinagar/Kakarvitta, and back through Charali — the best single-day motorbike loop in Jhapa with flat roads, green tea country, and the India border as a landmark.
Cycle north from Damak on the gentle hill road to the Budhabare and Barne tea estates — rolling terrain through green tea rows, factory visit to see the withering and rolling process, and a tasting of Jhapa's own orthodox tea. Round trip about 36 km with 300 m gentle climbing. The road is paved and peaceful on early mornings.
Rise before dawn and drive to the Budhabare ridge for sunrise over the tea garden — the low morning mist between the rows and the golden light on Kanchenjunga to the north make for a stunning setting. Pack a thermos of local tea and a breakfast spread for a picnic on the estate lawn before the pluckers arrive.
