Welcome to Sikkim’s Window to Kanchenjunga
Pelling is all about wide mountain views, calm monasteries, waterfalls, and quiet village roads. On clear mornings, the snow peaks of Kanchenjunga shine right in front of you. The air is cool, the pace is slow, and nature feels very close. Pelling is perfect for families, honeymooners, and travelers who enjoy scenic viewpoints, short walks, and peaceful hill stays without big-city noise.
Must-Visit Attractions in Pelling
Sky Walk & Chenrezig Statue
This hilltop complex features a tall statue of Chenrezig and a glass skywalk that offers dramatic views of the valley below. Walking on transparent panels with mountains around you is exciting and scenic at the same time.
Pemayangtse Monastery
One of the oldest and most important monasteries in Sikkim, Pemayangtse is known for its beautiful murals, statues, and tranquil setting. The atmosphere is calm and deeply spiritual.
Rabdentse Ruins
A short forest walk leads you to the remains of Sikkim’s former capital. Stone structures, moss-covered walls, and open viewpoints make it both historical and picturesque.
Khecheopalri Lake
Considered sacred and surrounded by dense forest, this emerald-green lake is amazingly clean. Locals believe that leaves landing on the lake are picked up by birds, keeping the water clear.
Rimbi & Kanchenjunga Falls
These powerful waterfalls gush down rocky cliffs, especially during monsoon. They are popular photo stops and great places to enjoy nature’s raw beauty.
