PELLING
Basically a little more than a strip of road lined with hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops, the breathtaking view of Khangchendzonga and glittering valleys cannot afford to leave Pelling unknown amongst domestic and international travellers. This little town in the state of Sikkim, Northeast India, is nestled at an altitude of approximately 7,200 feet above sea level. The road to Pelling with its twisty turns and bordering mountains blanket you with surreal beauty of nature, which is otherwise not visible in bustling metropolitan cities. Food is a delight over here with variety of Northeast delicacies like dumplings, thukpa and noodles being readily available at affordable rates.
Sightseeing in Pelling is not restricted to mountains, but extends up to lakes, waterfalls and monasteries, out of which the Kanchenjungha Falls and Pemyangshi Pemayangtse Monastery are most significant. A trip to this blessed hill station of Northeast India is incomplete without a visit to the following attractions:
As most hotels in Pelling open up to gorgeous views of majestic Himalayan ranges, an overnight stay here is a must. The glance of mountains under the first rays of sun and their slight temporary escape during dusk are moments to capture and remember forever.
