Nature's kingdom in West Sikkim
Situated in the western part of Sikkim, Pelling is among the most dazzling jewels in its crown. For ages, the beautiful small hill town has been alluring the wanderlusts. Located at a height of over 7,200 ft approx. Pelling is a small hamlet from where one can catch the best glimpse of the astonishing Kanchenjunga. The distance is so close that one may feel like talking to the snow-capped peak. Here the day starts with the snowy crowns changing colors from pink to gold to white and it ends with an indescribable shade of fiery orange.
Pelling offers endless scopes of exploring Mother Nature to the tourists. Kanchenjunga is not the only spectacle that one catch glimpse of at this small hamlet. Situated close to the town are stunning spots like the Kanchenjunga Falls, Rimbi Falls, Changey Waterfalls, Rock Garden, Sinsore Bridge, Khechipelri Lake, Pemyangse Monastery and the Rabdantse Ruins. While Kanchenjunga Falls astonish visitors with the sight of a broad stream of water jumping deep down from a great height, Khechipelri Lake makes people spellbound with its serenity and holiness. Another beautiful cascading waterfall near the town of Pelling is Changey. The sound of the stream jumping down to the pebbles from a high altitude would surely excite you here. The Changey Waterfall is just 10 kilometers from the town. Khechipelri is considered by the Buddhists as one of the holiest places and a wishing lake. Along the path through a jungle of pine trees will take you near the bank and then a small wooden bridge on a shade on top will take you to the water. It is a place where one eye and soul get the relaxation that they seek.
Pelling also has sites for mountain biking, rock climbing, village tours, meditations, apart from serving as a base for a number of treks in the region
Pelling is like a little princess in Nature's kingdom in Sikkim and she reveals her treasures in different other ways. Drives ranging from half an hour to one and a half hours take tourists to some other beautiful spots like Dentum Valley, Yuksom, Hee, Barmiok, Kaluk, and Rinchenpong.
