Sikkim traditional houses are constructed with wood, bamboo, stones, mud and thin roof, due to its natural advantages related to light weight, local availability of materials, etc.

Nowadays you will not get to see these beautiful traditional houses of Sikkim except in some parts of Sikkim. If you want to see a Lepcha house then you need to go Namprikdang, which is 8 km away from Mangan. This house is open for tourists throughout the year. Visitors can see antique artifacts on display.
