About This Place

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 travelers from across the world to share experiences and travel stories. The earth house opens to our private rivulet and is surrounded by cardamom plantations and old forest trees.

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

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

1. 1. 1. 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.
      2. 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.
      3. 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.
      4. 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.
