Illam: The pride of Nepal
Tea Gardens and Tourism: The biggest producer of Nepalese tea is said to be Ilam. One of the main attractions for travelers is its tea plantations. Scientists and researchers travel to Ilam to study orchids, unusual birds, medicinal and aromatic plants, and the elusive red panda. The district covers the upper, steep regions of the Himalayas as well as the Terai belt (lowlands).
Etymology: The name "Ilam" comes from the Limbu language. The Ilam word is comprised of two words: "IL," which stands for "twisted," and "Lam," which is the word for road. Before joining Gorkha at the beginning of the 19th century, Ilam was a separate Limbu kingdom.
Development and Culture: Agriculture is the main industry in Ilam, which is still getting developed. The USA, Australia, and Europe are the destinations of Ilam Tea's exports, which have been recognized for their outstanding taste. Here are cash crops that do well: potatoes, ginger, and cardamom. For youngsters from surrounding communities, the district also acts as a center for education.
Natural Beauty: Gorgeous districts wrap around Ilam. India's Darjeeling is to the east of it. Dhankuta and Morang are to the west. Panchthar is to the north. Jhapa is to the south. Among the several ethnic groups in the district are the Rai, Tamang, Gurung, Magar, and others (23).
In summary, Ilam is a peaceful paradise with booming tea plantations, is rich in natural beauty, and has numerous ethnic groups. Ilam invites you to explore its relaxing beauty, no matter whether you're interested in tea or the outdoors, and the people of that district are kind enough to attract tourists to come again and again.
