The popularity of yurts is surging across India. From the Himalayan foothills to the beaches of Goa, resort owners and landowners are discovering the unique appeal of these iconic round structures. The term "yurt," however, is often used to describe everything from a simple camping tent to a luxury villa, creating significant confusion for potential buyers.
The difference between a portable camping tent and a permanent, engineered yurt is as vast as the difference between a bicycle and a car. Both can get you from one point to another, but their purpose, durability, and performance are worlds apart.
This guide is designed to bring clarity to the Indian market. We will rank the best-known companies in the space, but more importantly, we will explain the crucial differences between their products. This will help you understand what you are really buying and which company is the right fit for your specific goals.
A Note on Our Ranking
My name is Praveen Krishnaiah, and I'm the co-founder of The Out Factory. I am placing our company at the top of this list for a simple and important reason: The Out Factory is India's only manufacturer of modern, architectural yurts.
This isn't just a claim; it's a category distinction. By the end of this guide, you will understand the critical difference between a seasonal yurt-style tent and a true, permanent yurt, and why this distinction is so important for your investment. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to choose the right structure for your vision.
1. The Out Factory
Best For: Premium All-Weather Resorts, Luxury Homes, and High-ROI Glamping Businesses seeking a globally competitive asset.
At The Out Factory, we don't just build a round structure; we honor the soul of the traditional Mongolian Ger and reimagine it for the 21st century. Our yurts are the only ones in India that fuse an authentic design lineage with modern, architectural engineering that meets global quality standards. The result is a permanent, four-season structure that performs like a luxury villa.
This is a critical distinction. We are not a tent maker; we are a manufacturer of architectural structures that are hyper-customizable, yet can be fully installed in as little as three days and uninstalled just as easily if needed.
What We Like:
- Authentic Design, Modern Performance: We start with the time-tested principles of the Mongolian Ger and elevate them with advanced engineering, a heavy-duty wooden frame, and multiple layers of high-performance architectural fabrics.
- Global, North American-Standard Quality: Our engineering, materials, and quality control are benchmarked against the biggest North American brands. We provide a globally competitive product, right here in India.
- Rapid Deployment & Flexibility: Though designed as a permanent 15+ year asset, a yurt can be installed in days, not months. This speed to market is a massive business advantage, and its ability to be disassembled offers flexibility traditional construction cannot match.
- Engineered for Luxury: Our yurts are designed from the start to integrate bathrooms, split AC units, and full interior layouts, making them true luxury suites.
The Verdict:
The Out Factory has created a new category in India. We offer the only structure that combines the authentic soul of a Ger with the engineering of a world-class architectural product. For any entrepreneur or individual who wants a globally competitive yurt, we are the smartest choice, making all other options either a compromise on quality or an unnecessary expense.
We believe in radical transparency, and seeing is believing. As India's only modern yurt manufacturer, we are proud to open our doors to you. We invite you to schedule a personal visit to our TOF Experience Centre in Bangalore to see our engineering and craftsmanship firsthand. Come meet the team, touch the materials, and understand the world-class quality that goes into every yurt we build.
For our clients across the country, we offer the next best thing: an exclusive live virtual tour. From your home or office, you can step inside our state-of-the-art facility and get the same transparent, in-depth look at our process.

2. Campking
Best For: Seasonal Glamping Experiences and Events.
Campking is a leader in the Indian glamping industry and a name many associate with the "Luxury Glamping Tent." They produce a high-quality, yurt-style tent that beautifully captures the aesthetic that has become so popular.
Their "Mongolian Timba Tent" is a semi-permanent structure, making it a fantastic option for seasonal resorts, festivals, or businesses in moderate climates. They have been instrumental in popularizing the glamping look in India.
What We Like:
- Market Leader: A well-known and respected name, they have done an excellent job pioneering the Indian glamping tent space, benefiting from a strong first-mover advantage.
- Great Aesthetics: Their yurt-style tents deliver the classic, desirable glamping look.
- Proven for Seasonal Use: An excellent choice for resorts that operate for specific seasons or for special events.
The Verdict:
For a business looking for a beautiful, semi-permanent tent for seasonal use, Campking is a top contender and a trusted name. They are a leader in the yurt-style tent category, which is a different product class from a permanent, architectural yurt.
3. CanvasHome
Best For: Resorts and Events Needing a Variety of Canvas Tents.
CanvasHome is another excellent provider of high-quality tented structures for the hospitality industry. Their yurt-style tents fit into the same category as Campking's. They are well-made, durable, semi-permanent canvas structures that are a great fit for resorts looking to add a glamping component.
Their strength lies in their broad catalog, allowing businesses to source different styles of tents from a single provider.
What We Like:
- Wide Range of Products: Offers a variety of resort-grade tents beyond just the yurt style.
- Quality Construction: A reliable provider of durable canvas structures for the hospitality industry.
The Verdict:
CanvasHome is a strong and reliable choice for businesses in need of high-quality, semi-permanent yurt-style tents. Alongside Campking, they are a leading option in the glamping tent category.
4. 10kya (and other online retailers)
Best For: Recreational Camping and Backyard Fun.
Online retailers like 10kya represent a third category entirely: recreational, yurt-type tents. These are lightweight, portable structures for casual, short-term use. While they use the "yurt" name in marketing, they are not intended for any kind of permanent or commercial glamping use and are not comparable to professional-grade structures.
What We Like:
- Affordability: The lowest price point, perfect for occasional use.
- Portability: Lightweight and easy to transport for a camping trip.
The Verdict:
Perfect for a family looking for a fun tent for a weekend getaway. These products are for recreational camping and should not be confused with the professional-grade structures required for a glamping business.
5. Importing from North American Brands
Some buyers may consider importing a yurt from one of the major North American manufacturers like Pacific, Rainier etc. These companies have a reputation for quality and are a benchmark in the global market. However, for a buyer in India, this is not a clever option.
The process involves exorbitant international shipping costs, a complex and lengthy customs process, and significant import duties that can dramatically inflate the final price. You are left with no local support and a logistical nightmare.
The Verdict:
It simply no longer makes sense to import a yurt into India. Whether you are an ROI-focused business or a value-conscious individual, The Out Factory now offers a product that meets or exceeds those same global quality standards, with a more authentic design lineage, right here at home. You get a world-class product without the crippling cost and complexity of importing.
Conclusion: Choosing the Right "Yurt" for Your Needs
The Indian market offers a range of "yurt" options, but they fall into distinct categories. For seasonal glamping, a high-quality yurt-style tent from a trusted provider like Campking is a great choice.
However, if you are an entrepreneur building a premium, year-round business or an individual who demands a world-class structure, your choice is clear. The Modern Engineered Yurt from The Out Factory, India's only true yurt manufacturer, is the only product engineered to be a permanent, high-ROI asset.
