# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Naulakha Estate & Rhododendron Tour + Cocktail Party
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sun, 07 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7, The Landmark Trust USA invites you to tour Naulakha, the Dummerston, VT house and gardens of author Rudyard Kipling, normally open only to overnight guests. Take a self-guided tour when its spectacular rhododendrons are likely to be in bloom. Start your visit with a tour of Naulakha, where Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Books and Captains Courageous (you can even sit at the desk!), then stay to enjoy the estate’s grounds at your leisure. Visit the newly rehabilitated Naulakha Stable, constructed for Kipling’s horses, Nip & Tuck, and now home to our newest overnight rental, along with the preserved historic stable and display on Kipling’s life in Vermont. Explore Kipling's Carriage House, former home of Kipling’s coachman, Matthew Howard, and his family as well. Wander the grounds to see the flowers in bloom and the clay tennis court located below Naulakha, likely among the first clay tennis courts built in Vermont. Bring a picnic and enjoy the incredible views from the sloping front lawn. Tickets are $25.

The Cocktail Party option returns this year as well, offering an even more exclusive and intimate experience of this special property on Friday evening, June 5, at 6:00 p.m. These special tickets include all the same access as daytime tickets with the addition of delicious hors d’oeuvres, signature cocktail, wine, and beer. Tickets are $80.
