Tikli Bottom, Gurgaon, Haryana India

Tikli Bottom is a modern Lutyens style four bedroom Indian haveli which is run as a private guest house. The courtyard offers much recreational space, and shade in the hotter months.

It lies less than 50 kms south of central Delhi in the state of Haryana, off the Delhi-Jaipur highway, nestling against the Aravali hills, and is 30 Kms and 45 minutes from the international airport. We call it our own little hill station.

Four double bedrooms are offered to guests to live en famille with the owners, Martin and Annie Howard. No beds are more comfortable than ours; nobodys air is cleaner, so close to Delhi, no food more organic and tasty than ours; and nobodys views through the windows better - we are perfect as a soft landing on arrival in India, or as a tell-all-about-it safe haven before departing.

We are a destination, not a stepping stone - stay three nights to get the most out of us. There is plenty for the active to do and nowhere is better for doing nothing at all.
