Building a house in Gangtok: what to know

Map approval
The Gangtok Municipal Corporation (GMC), whose Town Planning Cell has approved building plans in the municipal area since 2017, when the work moved over from the state's Urban Development and Housing Department. Plans follow the Sikkim Building Construction Regulations, 1991: since a 2001 amendment, the height allowed on a plot depends on the site-stability map of the Mines and Geology Department, whose site stability zonation parameters were notified on 19 March 2021.
Plot sizes
Plots are bought and sold in sq ft. Listings seen in October 2026 included 1,050 sq ft in Arithang and a 30 × 40 ft (1,200 sq ft) plot in Tadong.
Climate
Cold. Gangtok falls in the Cold zone of BEE's climate map: East Sikkim is cool and humid, with about 3,800 mm of rain a year and temperatures from about 1.5 °C to 27.5 °C, so keep walls and windows within BEE's cold-climate U-value of 1.8 W/m²·K, let the winter sun into living rooms and slope the roof to shed heavy rain.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone IV. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
CGWB describes East Sikkim as steep hills, mostly sloping more than 20%, of phyllite, slate, quartzite and gneiss, where springs are the main water source and most rain runs off, so a slope check and retaining walls and drainage come before the plan.
Where people build
Arithang, Tadong, Development Area, Deorali, Upper Sichey, Burtuk.
