Ambuja Tree of Life Lataguri, Dooars

The Address & The Vision

An Address Worth Owning

Ambuja Tree of Life Lataguri carries forward a brand that Ambuja Neotia built specifically for guests who want a villa experience woven into nature rather than built over it. Tree of Life began as a collection of boutique properties across India before Ambuja Neotia acquired the chain in 2023, and Lataguri is one of the new developments taking shape under that banner in the Dooars.

The setting is the promise here, sal forest, tea garden, and the seasonal jhoras of the Dooars form the immediate backdrop, with Gorumara National Park a short distance away. Life at this address is built around slowness, walks through the forest fringe, evenings on a private deck, and a landscape that changes with each season rather than each year.

Design language across the Tree of Life portfolio favours villas with private pools and resorts cradled in their natural surroundings, an approach the group is carrying into Lataguri as construction progresses. The intent is to keep built form secondary to the forest and garden context, so that architecture reads as shelter within the landscape rather than an imposition on it.

The timing follows a wider push by Ambuja Neotia and its hospitality partner IHCL to expand branded villas and resorts across West Bengal, Sikkim, and Himachal Pradesh, with Lataguri named among the first developments in that pipeline. For a region that has long drawn wildlife and tea-garden tourism but had limited branded stay options, this represents a meaningful addition to the address itself.

Ambuja Tree of Life Lataguri is presently under construction, with details on configurations and possession to follow as the development progresses.

Location / Address

A Defining Address

Near Gorumara National Park, Lataguri, Jalpaiguri district, West Bengal · Dooars · Lataguri

Lataguri sits at the edge of the Dooars, the belt of tea gardens, sal forests, and river valleys that runs along the Bhutan and Sikkim foothills in North Bengal. The town is best known as a gateway to Gorumara National Park, and its character is shaped by this proximity to protected forest rather than by any dense urban development. Ambuja Neotia already has a footprint here through its Vanya Awas residential project, and the Tree of Life development extends the group's presence in the same forest-fringed micro-market.

An address here trades city convenience for a setting that few other North Bengal towns can offer, sal and teak canopy on one side and open tea gardens on the other, with the Dooars' seasonal streams cutting through the landscape. The town is roughly a one-and-a-half hour drive from Siliguri, keeping it within reach of the region's rail and air links while remaining a genuine wilderness address for those seeking a retreat rather than a commute.

Why Invest

Compelling Reasons

1

Tree of Life brand heritage

The project carries the Tree of Life name, a boutique hospitality brand built around villas and resorts set within natural landscapes, acquired and expanded by Ambuja Neotia since 2023.

2

Backed by the Taj network

Following IHCL's majority stake in the Tree of Life operating company, the Lataguri development benefits from the distribution and brand strength of India's Taj hospitality network.

3

Gateway to Gorumara National Park

The property sits close to Gorumara National Park, placing residents and guests within easy reach of one of North Bengal's principal wildlife destinations.

4

Set within the Dooars landscape

Sal forests, tea gardens, and seasonal jhoras define the immediate surroundings, giving the address a genuine forest-fringe character rather than a manufactured green cover.

5

Ambuja Neotia's regional track record

The group already operates the Vanya Awas residential project nearby in Lataguri, reflecting an established presence and familiarity with the Dooars market.

6

Part of a wider North Bengal hospitality push

The Lataguri project is among the first developments in a larger Ambuja Neotia and IHCL pipeline of new hotels and branded villas planned across West Bengal, Sikkim, and Himachal Pradesh.

About the Developer

Ambuja Neotia

Ambuja Neotia traces its real estate journey to the mid-1980s, when it began as Bengal Ambuja, a joint sector entity supported by the Government of West Bengal. The Group's first residential project, Udayan on E M Bypass, became Kolkata's first condoville, built on a Public-Private Partnership model that allocated half the residences to LIG and MIG buyers and the rest to HIG. The work earned Chairman Harshavardhan Neotia the Padma Shri in 1999. The Group rebranded as Ambuja Neotia in 2009 and is today headquartered at Vishwakarma, Topsia Road, Kolkata.

The approach is unusually patient for Indian real estate. Architects of the stature of Late Charles Correa, Balkrishna Doshi and Prabir Mitra have shaped Group projects, and design, ecology and neighbourhood remain central to every brief. Ecospace Business Park in New Town was developed as a LEED-certified green commercial address, and the Group has consistently chosen depth in Bengal over scattered national expansion. Most residential addresses follow the Condoville philosophy — sized communities, generous open space, climate-friendly orientation and cross-ventilation, and clubhouses that are designed to be used rather than displayed.

The portfolio is broad and unusually integrated. Residential landmarks include Udayan and Upohar in south Kolkata, Utsa, Ujjwala and Urvisha in New Town, Utalika at Mukundapur, the Uttorayon and Utsodhaara Teesta townships in Siliguri, Urvashi in Durgapur, Ulhas in Bardhaman, and leisure homes such as Vanya Awas in Lataguri and Gardenia Villas at Raichak. Beyond housing the Group operates City Centre malls in Salt Lake, New Town, Siliguri, Haldia, Raipur and Patna, the Ecospace and Ecocentre business parks, IHCL-partnered Taj Chia Kutir, Taj City Centre, Taj Taal Kutir, Raajkutir and the FFort at Raichak.

The ownership philosophy is rooted in stewardship rather than transaction. Healthcare ventures such as Bhagirathi Neotia Woman & Child Care Centre and Neotia Getwel Multispecialty Hospital, the Neotia University, and the Neotec Hub startup incubator sit alongside the real estate business, all run by the same promoter family. Buyers therefore engage with an institution that builds for long-term operation, not exit. The recent acquisition of the Tree of Life Hotels chain extends the hospitality footprint nationally, while the residential business remains deliberately concentrated in Bengal, where the Group's relationships, design vocabulary and after-sales presence are deepest.
