About us
Tikli Bottom is a classic Lutyens style three bedroom Indian haveli built by the late Martin and Annie Howard in 1999.
It is a peaceful, relaxing, English run guest house with an extensive arboretum from around the world, offering a wild life haven for many birds and animals.
It has the character of a hill station, being almost surrounded by hills, and 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 or 45 minutes from Delhi International Airport.
We are now famed as a beautiful location for
film, fashion and wedding shoots and have featured in many well know films and series.
Three double bedrooms are offered to guests to live en famille .
We are a guest house, not an hotel,
so breakfast, lunch and dinner are shared with us.
We are a soft landing for the traveler to India and as such are often the first point of call before venturing off on an Indian adventure.
Our beds are comfortable, our air is clean
our western food is organic and tasty.
Our welcome is warm and friendly.

In memoriam
Annie Howard died peacefully in her sleep on August 26th 2023. She is now up in heaven with her dear Martin who passed away
14th March 2021.
They were a remarkable power couple who were respected in the community and amongst the ex-pat and Delhi society. Martin set up a private school from charitable donations, given to the panchayat to educate the village children. He received an MBE for this successful life changing work. Annie lent her great style and elegance to both projects making them a thing of beauty and elegance.
They will be deeply missed by so many.
