Answers, in plain language

Ganga Vana Villas is a gated villa community in Chilla, on the quieter edge of Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. It is a limited collection of independent neo-classical villas, each on its own plot, in two formats — Type A at 2,000 sq. ft. and Type B at 2,700 sq. ft., both planned as 3 BHK with a servant room. The project is designed by More Than Buildings Design Studio LLP, with possession scheduled by 2028.

The project is at Ganga Bhogpur (Talla), Chilla Road, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. It sits at the foothills of the Himalayas, with the Ganga a short walk away and Rajaji National Park 5–10 minutes from the gate.

The project is designed by More Than Buildings Design Studio LLP. The design brief carries a neo-classical language — arched openings, pitched roofs and stone-finished facades — through both the elevations and the interiors.

It is a deliberately limited collection of villas planned around shared commons. The exact unit count is confirmed at the time of enquiry — please speak to the sales team for the current inventory position.

Possession is scheduled by 2028.

Three things. First, the setting — Chilla is bounded by the Ganga and Rajaji National Park, so land here is naturally limited rather than endlessly extendable. Second, the format — independent villas on individual plots with private green edges, not stacked apartments. Third, the design discipline — a single neo-classical architectural language held consistently across every villa along the internal boulevard.

Yes. The community has an RCC compound wall with a designed entry gate, a guard room, CCTV surveillance and 24/7 security.

Ganga for the river that runs close by, Vana for forest. The name describes the site itself — a stretch of land held between the river and the forest at Chilla.

Neo-classical, grounded in the Himalayan setting. Symmetrical proportions, arched windows, pitched roofs, stone-finished facades and subtle mouldings, with soft ambient lighting that picks out the detail after dusk.

The villas share one architectural language so the internal boulevard reads as a cohesive whole. Within that, the two villa formats — Type A and Type B — differ in footprint and internal volume.

Two formats: Type A villas at 2,000 sq. ft. and Type B villas at 2,700 sq. ft.

Every villa is planned as 3 BHK plus a servant room, across three levels — ground, first and mumty.

An open living and dining volume (14'0" × 17'1"), kitchen (14'10" × 7'6"), Bedroom 1 (14'10" × 11'0") with attached dress (5'6" × 5'0") and toilet (9'0" × 5'0"), and a private green area (9'2" × 17'5") that the living spaces open onto.

Two bedrooms around a central staircase lobby — Bedroom 2 (14'0" × 13'1") with Toilet 2, and Bedroom 3 (14'10" × 14'0") with Toilet 3 and a dress area — plus two balconies (14'0" × 6'5" and 14'10" × 6'0").

The mumty level holds a staircase lobby, a servant room (14'0" × 13'1") with its own toilet, and a large open terrace (14'11" × 26'9") that can be used for evenings outdoors or small gatherings.

Yes. Every home opens into its own landscaped edges — 9 ft garden strips, backyard lawns and curated greens.

Yes, car parking is planned within each villa plot, with driveways in paver block or stamped concrete. Separate visitor parking is provided in the community.

The ground floor is planned with a full bedroom, attached dress and toilet alongside the living, dining and kitchen — so day-to-day living can happen entirely on one level, with the upper floors used for family and guests.

The villas are delivered to the published specification, including flooring, modular kitchen with stone counter, sanitaryware, CP fittings, doors, windows and electricals. Loose furniture and decor shown in the brochure renders are indicative.

Customisation scope depends on the construction stage at the time of booking. Please raise specific requests with the sales team at the time of enquiry.

The elevations are designed around light — large openings on the ground floor connect to the private green area, and first-floor rooms open onto wide balconies through sliding toughened glass doors.

A central swimming pool, clubhouse, community spaces, walking tracks, private gardens with each villa, visitor's parking, guard room, CCTV surveillance and Wi-Fi provision.

Yes — a central swimming pool sits within the community's shared commons.

Yes. The clubhouse anchors the shared spaces, alongside green commons and walking tracks.

A gated entry with 24/7 security, a guard room, CCTV surveillance across common areas, and intercom systems within the villas.

Yes, walking tracks run through the landscaped commons.

Wi-Fi provision is part of the project specification.

Yes, dedicated visitor's parking is provided within the community.

Common-area upkeep, security and landscaping are managed under a community maintenance arrangement. The current charges and structure are shared at the time of booking.

Yes. Under FEMA regulations, Non-Resident Indians and Persons of Indian Origin may purchase residential property in India without prior RBI approval. Agricultural land, plantations and farmhouses are the exceptions, and they do not apply to a residential villa purchase.

Payments must be made in Indian rupees through normal banking channels — from an NRE, NRO or FCNR account, or by inward remittance. Travellers cheques and foreign currency notes are not permitted.

Yes. Indian banks and housing finance companies offer home loans to NRIs, typically repaid through NRE or NRO accounts. Terms vary by lender and country of residence.

Yes, by appointing a trusted representative through a duly executed and attested Power of Attorney. The sales team can outline the current documentation requirements.

Typically a valid passport, OCI or PIO card where applicable, PAN card, overseas address proof and recent photographs. Requirements are confirmed at the time of booking.

Rental income credited to an NRO account is repatriable subject to applicable limits and tax clearance. Please consult a chartered accountant for your specific position.

Stamp duty and registration charges in Uttarakhand, GST where applicable on an under-construction purchase, and TDS obligations on the transaction. A tax adviser should review your case before booking.

Yes. Unlike higher hill stations that empty out in winter, Chilla sits at foothill elevation with a moderate climate, and Rishikesh city 20 minutes away covers everyday needs through every season.

Rajaji National Park safaris minutes away, the Ganga for walks and river time, Rishikesh for yoga, ashrams, cafes and rafting, Haridwar 25 minutes away, and the wider Garhwal Himalaya beyond.

The community is a gated, walled development with a manned entry, CCTV and 24/7 security. Proximity to the park is managed the way it is for every established settlement along the Chilla belt.

It ranks well on the things that matter after work: clean air, low noise, walkable green surroundings, an active spiritual and wellness community, and AIIMS Rishikesh 10 minutes from the project for tertiary healthcare.

Dehradun is a full city — more schools, more retail, more traffic. Chilla is quieter, greener and closer to the river and forest, while staying 45–50 minutes from Dehradun when you need the city.

Rishikesh is the reference point for yoga in India, and Chilla places you on the quieter bank — near the practice, away from the crowds.
