About this place

Tieedi Air Dwelling is our humble endeavor to work with Mother Nature to handcraft a dwelling that embraces our forest.The dwelling has been built using local, renewable resources and working with the local and international artists.It gets its name from the fact that it is projected above the ground using cantilevers. Yup! this time we take up amidst the verdant trees of our forest.This room has a balcony that opens up to the trees.

The space

Our place is part of a forest garden project where we are trying to revive a neglected acre of land into a forest that’s bursting with life. So even though you are connected to the highway, you would get to experience the joy of being amidst brooding trees, chirping birds and gurgling rivers. You can find your own solitude-spot in the forest or mingle with backpackers and travellers from across the world and share experiences and travel stories. The earth house opens to our private rivulet and is surrounded by cardamom plantation and old forest trees.

Guest access

Guests are welcome to explore all nooks and corners of our forest garden. They can search and discover our TIEEDI waterfall or bask in the sunlight under a large canopy of magnolia trees or dip their toes in the gurgling mountain river.

During your stay

Having lived the life of a backpacker ourselves, we would be able to recommend the best places to visit in Darjeeling for viewing tourist places and also the secret offbeat destinations in and around Darjeeling (and also to other backpacker hotspots in India). We also love having a conversation with our guests about trekking, mountaineering and travel in general.

Other things to note

We are a bunch of foodies, and we will serve you the tastiest of local delicacies that are either organically grown in our vegetable gardens or sourced from local organic farmers. The meal charges right now is Rs:150/- per meal. We have a service charge of 30% for room service.

You also have the option to earn your meals for the whole day by volunteering for 6 hours/day in one of our projects. Alternatively, you can dine out at local restaurants, just a 100-meter walk away from our place.

Please note that the earth house is connected to the motorable road by a stone-paved pathway through our private forest. It is a 5-minute hike from the main road. We will transport your luggage, but we expect you to be fit enough to walk this trail to the dwelling.

We are on a quest to create a plastic-free environment, so guests are requested to use only the designated trash bins for disposing of their organic and inorganic waste.
