A second home in Mirik.

No statute bars an outsider from buying land in the Darjeeling hills — the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration has no power to block outside buyers. The real catch is tenure, not eligibility: much of the land in and around Darjeeling, Kurseong, and Kalimpong town is 'khasmahal' — government-owned land held on a renewable, heritable lease under the Revenue Department, where transferring the lease right needs prior government permission — or tea-garden/cinchona-plantation lease land that can't be bought freehold at all. Confirm the specific parcel's tenure before treating it as a standard freehold purchase. This is general information, not legal advice - confirm current rules with a local lawyer before committing to a plot.

Short-term rental rules are set at the state level, so this applies across West Bengal, not just Mirik. No dedicated state homestay scheme as of 2026 — NIDHI registration alone is required to operate legally, with no state subsidy or branding attached. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm current rules with the West Bengal tourism department before committing to a build.
