The Cultural Landscape of the tea garden is a metamorphosed expression of the natural landscape, which has evolved with time by setting up the tea industries in topographically suitable areas and influenced by the activities of the tea community. It is essentially a unique set of intangible and tangible features, which is not getting tourists' and researchers' perception due to lack of proper management. The study analyzes a territory in the Khakiachara tea garden, Sreemangal, and aims to showcase the existing natural and cultural setting of tea gardens by proposing an interpretive guideline. The major steps of this research are to identify the cultural landscape values by on-site survey and data collection, categorize them by audience perception analysis and develop a network of cultural landscape resources. The result of this study may provide a future management guideline, serve as a possible mechanism to maintain natural and cultural eco-system and boost economic development.
