Prefab Cottages & Homestays in Gangtok

Gangtok is built along a ridge above the Ranikhola valley, with views to Kanchenjunga on clear days. Tourism drives much of its economy: hotels, homestays and cafés line the city, and visitors use it as the base for Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La and the northern valleys. Around it, Rumtek, Ranipool and Pakyong are growing, and the pharmaceutical belt at Rangpo and Majitar lies downstream on the way in.

Gangtok's terraced plots leave little room for a crane or a stacked materials yard, and months of rain stall masonry and plaster work. A building that arrives as a kit of parts avoids both problems: steel frame members, wall and roof panels and ready-made interiors are fabricated in Umbergaon, carried up in loads the hill roads can take, and put together over a few dry weeks. Stone plinths, timber cladding and deep eaves then give it the local character that Sikkim's homestays and boutique hotels trade on.

From Umbergaon, structures travel by road across northern India to Siliguri, then up the Teesta valley highway to Gangtok. This road is often affected by landslides in the monsoon, and vehicle size is limited, so we plan each delivery with you and usually recommend flat-packed panel or light gauge steel systems assembled on site.
