Thank you for the feature, Sikkim Express!

TAKE IT EASY

Started as a forest garden, TIEEDI co-founders Utsow Pradhan and Aashna Behl planted the first tree sapling in July 2016 in their family-owned land of one acre. The idea was to subscribe to the couple’s new-found ethics of permaculture and now in a span of almost three years, TIEEDI has emerged as best working model of permaculture in the hills while also the top ranked speciality lodging in that side of Teesta river.

Here's a shout out to all our patrons for making us the No. 1 Speciality Lodging in Darjeeling!

While we were driven for excellence we never quite anticipated to receive so much love and acceptance in just the first full year of operations.

Meet Ashraf! Tieedi's BFF!

In our #ZeroWaste journey, where we have vowed not to contribute to the landfill or in any way add on to the air, soil or water pollution, he is a good friend who helps us in ensuring that a good chunk of the non-biodegradeable waste (read: resources) that we end up accumulating during our cleanup drives, is recycled.

India as a country has one of the highest recycling rates in the world because of his tribe.

Known as kabbadiwalas, his tribe deserves a better respect in the social hierarchy. Without them in the picture, our landfills would be in a lot worse state than it currently is in. Next time you meet or interact with one, offer them a cup of tea and don't haggle on the rates too much. Give them a helping hand or a pat on their back too.

Recycling however is not the key to solving the waste crisis that the world is reeling in right now. Reducing our waste is what we all need to aspire for.

#ReduceReuseRecycle yes in that order.

He is also our key partner in the #TheHimalayanCleanup. Join us on the 26th to meet Ashraf and the other environment warriors as we fight back for a cleaner and greener mountains. ... See more
