Darjeeling’s Tourism Realty Up 10% Amid Eco-Resort Boom
Darjeeling’s real estate sector is witnessing renewed momentum, with eco-resort developments near Tiger Hill pushing commercial land prices up by 10%, now ranging between ₹2,000–3,000 per sq ft. The surge is attributed to post-pandemic tourism recovery and rising investor interest in sustainable hospitality ventures.

Areas surrounding Tiger Hill and Ghoom have become hotspots for boutique hotels and eco-resorts, catering to high-value tourists seeking premium, nature-immersive stays. Real estate developers are focusing on low-impact construction and green certifications, aligning with West Bengal’s sustainable tourism policies.

Tour operators report a 25% rise in tourist footfall year-over-year, reviving demand for vacation experiences in Darjeeling’s scenic hills. With improved road infrastructure and increased digital bookings, the region has become more accessible to domestic and international travelers.

The 10% price hike in commercial plots is also prompting local landowners to explore homestays, glamping sites, and nature retreats, further expanding tourism-linked realty. Experts expect continued growth as Darjeeling positions itself as a premium mountain destination focused on eco-conscious development.
