The Postcard at the Durrung Tea Estate in Assam has won the Hotel of the Year 2025 award.
This award is given by Gallivanter’s Guide, a trusted source for luxury travel.
The Postcard is a very special and luxurious place to stay.
It is spread over 1,400 acres of beautiful tea gardens.
There are only 12 rooms, so it is very exclusive.

It also has a pool, places to walk, and even a court to play pickleball.
The food is delicious and made with local flavors.
The owners, Kapil Chopra and Aksansha Lamba, are very happy and proud of this award.
The editor who chose The Postcard also liked another Postcard hotel by the Arabian Sea in Karnataka.
