Ever wondered what it takes to build a luxury glamping experience in the middle of nature? At Riverside by Aahma, The Out Factory installed five stunning yurts on the edge of the Kosi River, offering a unique blend of modern comfort and rustic charm.
This isn’t just a pretty spot—it’s a challenge conquered, from the foundation to the final touches. Let’s take a peek behind the scenes of this extraordinary project.
Challenges of Building by the Water
Constructing anything by a river is tricky business. The ground here is soft, constantly shifting with moisture and erosion risks. Traditional building methods would’ve caused too much disruption to the landscape, so a different approach was needed. The Out Factory opted for a modular design, meaning materials were prefabricated off-site and then brought in for quick assembly. This not only minimised the impact on the ecosystem but also ensured stability on the softer soil.
But that’s not all. The team had to tackle water management issues to prevent erosion and protect the lakeside ecosystem. By installing strategic drainage systems, they managed rainwater flow and kept the site secure, blending construction with conservation.
Yurts That Redefine Luxury
Forget roughing it—these aren’t your typical camping tents. Each of the five independent yurts spans 20 feet in diameter, making them spacious enough to feel like a proper room, but with the cosy, circular charm of a yurt. The interiors are air-conditioned, with en-suite bathrooms, providing the comfort of a luxury hotel suite. The yurts are painted in a colour palette called Tennis Green and Hemp, designed to reflect the natural surroundings and blend in with the lush greenery of the property.
Large windows open up to beautiful views of the Kosi River, letting guests feel connected to the landscape without leaving the comfort of their rooms. Outside, private seating areas offer a perfect spot to unwind with a cup of coffee while soaking in the serene river views. It’s like your own private bubble, wrapped in nature’s embrace.
Built to Last: Durability and Warranty
The Riverside location experiences intense weather—from scorching 39°C summers to chilly 8°C winters, along with heavy monsoon rains. To tackle this, the yurts were built using tough, weather-resistant materials designed to handle these extremes. The Out Factory prides itself on durability, offering a 10-year warranty on these yurts. This isn’t just a glamping spot for a season; it’s built to provide a memorable experience for years to come.
A Natural Fit: Blending with the Landscape
One of the highlights of Riverside by Aahma is its seamless connection to nature. Spread across 21 acres of lush greenery, the property offers a sanctuary for those seeking peace and relaxation. The yurts were carefully placed to preserve the existing flora and maintain the natural flow of the land. The colour scheme of the yurts—deep green and sandy tones—mirrors the surrounding landscape, making them blend in effortlessly.
Outdoor spaces were designed to encourage guests to spend more time outside. Imagine sitting on your porch, watching the river flow by, listening to the birds sing. The property offers activities like bird watching, adventure sports, and riverside games, making it an ideal retreat for both relaxation and adventure.
Modern Comfort Meets Eco-Friendly Design
The yurts at Riverside by Aahma are a perfect example of how traditional designs can be adapted for modern luxury. Yurts, originally used by nomadic tribes, are known for their circular shape and efficient use of space. Here, The Out Factory took this ancient concept and infused it with modern amenities—like air conditioning and stylish interiors—while keeping an eco-friendly mindset.
The modular construction approach reduced waste and environmental impact, and the use of sustainable materials ensures that the yurts are as kind to the planet as they are comfortable for guests. Natural ventilation and large windows help reduce the need for artificial lighting and cooling, keeping energy usage low without compromising on guest comfort.
A Unique Experience Awaits
Riverside by Aahma isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a destination. The yurts offer a one-of-a-kind glamping experience that allows guests to enjoy the beauty of nature without giving up on comfort. Whether it’s waking up to the sound of the river, enjoying a meal under the stars, or simply taking a moment to breathe in the fresh air, these yurts make every moment memorable.
