Tieedi Earthy cottage 01

With the Air Dwelling, we have taken our first flight off the ground on natural buildings. Conceptualised as a dwelling that is floating in the air, it is projected out amongst the trees. Travel down a nostalgic memory lane & reminisce the times spent on your grandparent’s secret attic. This hut has a mezzanine floor with stairs that invite children to climb up & cook up a new adventure in the forest or for loving couples to just lay back, stare at the floating clouds and the glittering stars. 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.
