One yurt is a room. And here's what happens when you combine more

One yurt is a room. Two is a floor plan. Here's what each combination actually gives you.

Whether you're planning a resort, a wellness centre, or an Airbnb of your own, how your yurt houses combine determines what you can actually offer guests — not just how many rooms you have. Here's what building single yurts, twins, and multi-unit clusters has taught us.

The three yurt sizes

Every configuration below is built from three diameters.

Every yurt is customisable on layout, windows, and doors — our architects can also draw a plan from scratch around your site. Every yurt house comes with 3,000+ colour combinations.

Four ways to combine yurts

1. The single yurt — one yurt house as a resort room, studio, or wellness space. Zionhills Golfcourse in Kolar, Karnataka runs one as a halfway hut on their golf course, with 180° panoramic windows. Best if you're testing the format or adding one income stream to land you already own.

2. The twin — two yurts linked by a walkway, bedroom in one, living room in the other. This is the configuration that turns a room into a suite. A weekend home in Kanakapura, Karnataka joins two 24 ft yurts into a single floor plan.

3. The cluster — three or more yurts on one site. You have one real decision: leave them independent and sell as separate keys (Machaan Wilderness Lodge in Nagarahole runs eight independent 24 ft yurts, 3,616 sq ft total, each en-suite and bookable on its own), or link them into one horizontal villa. The second maximises occupancy flexibility.

4. The mixed cluster — sizes don't need to match. A TOF32 as shared living space, with TOF20s or TOF24s as bedrooms around it — one property, multiple booking options.

What actually determines whether a cluster works

- Spacing and privacy — yurts are round, so there's no back wall to hide a neighbouring unit behind. Angle doors and windows away from each other, or guests end up looking straight into the next yurt.

- Size mix — decide what you're selling before what you're building. Couples-focused? More small units. Families? Few bigger ones.

- Pathways — where guests walk is where guests meet. Route paths through shared space for a social property; route around it for seclusion.

- Phasing — yurts are placed, not poured. A site can add units later without a second construction season.

What it costs

Yurt + installation, per unit:

Budget roughly ₹7–8 lakh more per unit for platform, plumbing, electricals, and interiors — this varies by ground condition and finish level, which is why it's kept separate from the base cost.

How long it takes

About 90 days end to end: roughly 12 weeks of manufacturing, then 4 days of on-site installation per yurt house — our team, your ground, no contractor, no site office. This is also why phasing works: adding to a cluster later is a 4-day job, not a season.

Can you build a yurt cluster in a CRZ or eco-sensitive zone?

Yes. Permanent construction is prohibited in coastal regulatory zones and eco-sensitive zones — but a placed structure like a yurt house falls into a different legal category. We've installed in both. Check your specific zone's rules early; it often opens up land you assumed was unusable.

Where to start

Send us your plot, not a plan — the slope, the views, what you want the property to be — and our architects return a configuration and floor plan built around it. You can also explore all three sizes and every layout yourself in our 3D yurt customiser before speaking to anyone.
