Siachen Naturals Private Limited

Siachen Naturals Private Limited is run by us here at the home of Sonam Phunchok in Shashi. The area code is 194201, and if you know this part of the country, you know it isn't the easiest place to run a business. We deal with natural things that grow in this tough climate. It’s a small operation, mostly family and a few neighbors helping out when they can. We don’t have a big corporate office; we just use the space we have in Phunchok Tseringshey’s place. Everything we do is very hands-on. We spend our days processing what we can find and making sure it’s handled properly before it goes anywhere. It gets very cold here, which changes how we work depending on the season. Sometimes the roads are blocked and we can't get anything out for weeks at a time. We’ve learned to be patient. We aren't trying to compete with those big companies in the cities. We just want to offer something honest from our own region. People know us here, and they know we put in the work. It’s a quiet life for the most part, focusing on the quality of what we produce rather than how much we can sell in a month. We don't have fancy labels or advertisements. We just rely on the fact that the stuff we make is good and that people who try it will tell others. It’s a simple way of doing things that makes sense for us in this high altitude.
