Naulakha Estate & Rhododendron Tour + Cocktail Party

Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, we invite you to tour Naulakha, the Dummerston, VT house and gardens of author Rudyard Kipling, normally open only to overnight guests. Start your visit with a tour of Naulakha, where Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Books, then stay to enjoy the estate’s grounds at your leisure, including the football field length Rhododendron Tunnel. Wander the grounds to see the flowers in bloom and the clay tennis courts located below Naulakha, among the first tennis courts built in Vermont. Bring a picnic and enjoy the incredible views from the sloping front lawn.

The Cocktail Party option returns this year as well, offering an even more exclusive and intimate experience of this special property on Friday evening, May 30.

Times often sell out early, so get your tickets today! All proceeds support the historic preservation work of The Landmark Trust USA.
