Tikli Bottom
Overview: : Tikli Bottom is a unique, privately owned guest house that functions as a boutique farm retreat near Tikli village. Built in the late 1990s by Martin and Annie Howard, it is designed in the classic Lutyens style, reminiscent of old New Delhi architecture. The property is set within a la rge organic farm and is surrounded by the Aravalli hills on three sides, giving it the feel of a quiet hill station. It is a "soft landing" for international tourists and a luxury escape for locals seeking a refined rural experience. The retreat is known for its four massive bedrooms, sprawling lawns, and an iconic swimming pool that sits at the center of the courtyard. Everything here is run with a focus on sustainability and organic living, with much of the food served coming directly from their gardens. The hospitality is modeled after a traditional English country home but with a distinct Indian soul. It is a place where there are no televisions or loud music, encouraging guests to reconnect with books, nature, and conversation. The property is frequently used as a location for high-end fashion shoots and independent films due to its aesthetic appeal. It offers a sense of exclusivity that is hard to find in standard luxury hotels. The silence of the hills combined with the chirping of birds makes it a sanctuary for the soul. It is open for both overnight stays and day visitors who come for the famous organic lunches. The staff, many of whom are from the local village, provide warm and personalized service.
