Building in the Himalayas

Building in the mountains, hills and slopes do have their challenges. Through an extensive practice across the years, we have arrived at a set of fundamental rules – from a combination of local and international practices – which have been tested on the ground. 

We have also formulated a few principles which help establish a sustainable balance between our needs and what is good for the sensitive himalayan environment. 

Above all, we make it fun, easy and affordable for you.

Our Guiding Principles
