# Ilam and Kanyam

Spend a morning on the tea slopes at Kanyam and a night in Ilam if you want more time in town. Keep the itinerary loose so fog doesn’t decide your whole day.

**Best time to visit**

Choose spring or autumn as a starting point and check the local forecast before you travel.

**How to get there**

Travel by road from the eastern plains. Ask your accommodation about the current route, drop-off and return ride.

**What to do**

- Walk a public path through the Kanyam tea landscape
- Try locally grown tea
- Browse the market in Ilam town

**Where to stay**

Stay near Kanyam for an early walk or in Ilam town for more time around the market.

**Local tips**

Ask before entering working tea fields.
