ILAM: ‘Ilame Sahar, Chiyabari Ramro, Tyahi Paryo Ghar Hamro’. It is a line of the song which popularized the relation between Ilam and tea garden. The song not only celebrates the tea estate but also the love. Ilam is known for its swathes of lush tea gardens that add to the natural beauty of the place.
