EXPERIENCE RATING
New on EvynxPelling's skywalk, sacred lake and heritage monasteries - two guided days.
About this experience
Pelling sits on a West Sikkim ridge with the most direct Kanchenjunga view in the state, and two guided days cover its full circuit for travellers arranging their own stay. The first opens at India's first glass-floor skywalk beside the 137-foot Chenrezig statue, drives to the sacred Khecheopalri Lake, and closes at the moss-covered Rabdentse Ruins. The second turns to monastery heritage - Pemayangtse, founded 1705, followed by a steep forest hike to Sanga Choeling. A private guide and SUV cover both days; accommodation is arranged independently. No permits required.
Highlights
- Pelling Skywalk - India's first glass-floor cliff walk to the 137-foot bronze Chenrezig statue
- Khecheopalri Wishing Lake - sacred Lepcha lake where birds are said to clear every fallen leaf
