Cedar Treehouse
Ten metres up a living deodar, with a wraparound deck hanging over the stream. It is built on adjustable collars, so the tree keeps growing through the structure rather than being strangled by it. Inside: a double bed under a glazed gable and a wood-burning stove. The hot shower and composting toilet are in a private cabin at the base of the tree. The ladder-stair has a handrail and is perfectly safe — but it is steep, and we would rather say now that it does not suit anyone unsteady on their feet at night. No Wi-Fi up here on purpose. There is signal down in the clearing if you need it.

Pine Treehouse
The smaller of the two treehouses, eight metres up a pine at the quiet end of the site. A reading nook built into the window bay, a double bed, and a deck with room for two chairs and a coffee. Warmer than the cedar through winter — less glass, more insulation — and a shorter climb, which matters to more guests than admit it. The forest here is thick enough that you will not see another structure from the deck.

Forest Floor Room
A ground-level room in the timber lodge, for anyone who would rather not climb — and for families, since the treehouses are genuinely not suitable for small children. One double bed and one single, an ensuite bathroom, and a door opening onto the clearing with the fire pit. It catches the morning sun before either treehouse does. Wi-Fi reaches this room properly, which is not true of the trees.

Gli host
I am Tashi. I built both treehouses myself from local deodar over two winters, ten metres up in the canopy. There is no television and patchy signal — that is the point. Wake with the birds, read on the deck, and let the forest do the rest.

Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh
Su Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh
Jibhi is a forest village in the Banjar valley, all deodar cedar, wooden bridges and a stream that runs past most doorsteps. It has become the Himalayas' favourite slow-travel stop without losing the plot — there is a waterfall, a serpentine temple with astonishing woodwork at Chaini Kothi, and a great deal of walking. Nights are cold most of the year, which is exactly why the fire pit gets used.
Getting here 2 ways in
- Nearest airport
- Bhuntar (60 km, 2 hours).
- By road
- Delhi to Aut tunnel overnight, then 45 minutes up the Banjar valley to Jibhi.
The last kilometre to the treehouses is a walking path — we carry bags up, and there is parking at the road.
