We are an environment conservation organisation based out Darjeeling. We practice Permaculture which teaches us the art of working with Mother Nature. We started the organisation in 2016 and our work currently revolves around experiential environment education, regenerative tourism, natural farming, decentralised waste management solutions and sustainable land and building design consultation.

Over the years we have hosted travelers from all corners of the world and we are humbled by the fact that they have rated us the No. 1 Speciality Lodging in Darjeeling on TripAdvisor. We also provide volunteering options where people learn about permaculture while contributing in any one of our projects.

TIEEDI Air Dwelling was conceived as a dwelling that is floating in the air, it is projected out amongst the trees and amidst the floating clouds and the fleeting birds. Just like our first natural building, Air Dwelling has also been hand crafted by our local artisans while working in tandem with architects, engineers and volunteers from different corners of the world. TIEEDI Earth Dwelling is an abode that is nestled beside a gurgling mountain brook. It is a simple, minimalistic accommodation that provides you a solace in the forest. Perfect for spending some time along for contemplation and to reconnect to Mother Nature or to spend some quality time with your partner amidst the raw beauty of the forest. TIEEDI Forest Dwelling is our shoutout to travelers seeking minimalist accommodation, great conversations, scrumptious organic meals and a cultural exchange in a permaculture forest garden. This accommodation is suitable for single travelers or a group of friends looking to spend some quality time cocooned in the bosom of the forest.

We offer meals made of locally sourced food and vegetables or grown here at TIEEDI. It is made lovingly in our kitchens by our staff and volunteers.

If you’re looking to go on hikes and seek adventures in the mountains or want to indulge in some forest bathing and introspective time, in and around TIEEDI is a great place for some inner and outer explorations.

We organize a TIEEDI forest tour and take you through different parts of the forest- so from learning about indigenous species to permaculture principles, regenerative living- it’s an insightful tour. Volunteers often organise tours amongst themselves to different parts of Darjeeling and we are more than happy to guide to some amazing local spots and might even join you:)

We try to follow a zero waste policy in the property. The accomodations are designed to produce no plastic waste We also have a zero waste store on-site for guests to learn more We constantly organise workshops at TIEEDI and outside to spread awareness about plastic waste and the alternatives

The TIEEDI property is on a regenerated forest that used to be a landfill. We work hard to constantly improve conditions for regeneration while preserving native species We follow permaculture principles and grow some of our own food The permaculture principles are our guide not just for food farming but for everything we do at TIEEDI- for example, we are constantly experimenting on ways to improve how we manage our resources. We are building low water wastage toilets, we have animals to balance out food waste to turn into manure etc.
