History of Thurbo Tea Estate:

This Darjeeling tea garden was planted in the year 1872. The name of the garden relates to a historic event which may have originated when the British set up a camp in the garden at the time of their Nepal invasion and used camps or tents which in local language is called ‘Tombu’, and this may later have developed as ‘Thurbo’. Hence the name Thurbo Tea Estate. Other sources of name and its meaning remains elusive.
