Pelling - Best Honeymoon Destination in Sikkim

Without the comfort of good hotels if you want to feel nature, want to see mighty Kanchendzonga or want to believe the rich Sikkim culture & heritage Pelling will be a must visit vacation place. You can get a magnificent view of the snow capped Kanchendzonga peaks from your room when the weather is clear along with surrounding mountain ranges including the Koktang, Frey, Rathong, Kabru North and Kabru South, Kabru Dom, Talung Kanchenjunga, Pandim, Jopuno,Tinchikhang, Narsing and others.

Pelling is one of the best honeymoon destinations in India and a must in your Sikkim tour ideas. I started for Pelling from Kolkata in prestigious Darjeeling mail & was at a loss when got down at NJP. There are a lot of cab & driver who offer to drive you to pelling but the price was unbelievably high. After loitering here & there for some time I came to know you can go to Siliguri from where you can get cabs at a reasonable price , even shared cabs as well. It should be taken care of as it makes tourist confused & cheated.

when you travel to Pelling through the winding roads (tough the road condition was pretty bad) you'll forget all the issues in your life. The road itself is so scenic that you'll be amazed in every turn. The deep gorges down, or the long trees on the side will surely make you feel relieved.

Pelling is at 7000 ft altitude and is quite cold place making it a good for summer vacation ideas. The hotels are normally small & welcomes tourists like their guests. I stayed in one of the most famous in Pelling Hotel Garuda. I strongly recommend this hotel for travellers as the service is awesome with breath taking views of Kanchenjunga from the room itself. I was lucky enough to have a stunning sunrise view sitting in my room. The snow capped mountain turns golden yellow with the valley filling up slowly with light is something I can't write. You have to see it yourself.

Pelling has a lot of waterfalls among which Rimbi, Kanchenjunga, Changey are quite big.
Kanchenjunga falls is said to be generating from the snows of Mt. Kanchenjunga which runs throughout of the year. Rimbi is on the road & you don't have to get down from your car to see it.

Pemayangtse Monastery which has large collection of arts & crafts elaborating Sikkim Tradition. You'll feel the calm & tranquillity of the place. The Gompha has gorgeous wall paintings of Guru Rimpoche, several angels, & Lord Budhha. Another very old monastery
Sangachoeling Monastery is also very rich with Sikkemese culture.

Pelling journey will not be complete if you don't visit the serene Khecheopalri Lake which hosts thousands of Fish & a very neat & clean lake. You'll be enchanted by the beautiful scenery of the place. The lake covered in dense forest with clear blue sky makes it a must visit.

If you want to feel height - o -phobia, I'l recommend you to go the Asia's second highest Singshore Bridge. You can see the mighty bridge with beautiful scenic atmosphere surrounding the place. The bridge is the only connection between the two sides & whenever any car goes through the bridge it resonates in such that it might break down. Powerful winds would make chill run down your spine. This is a lovely pace where you can understand human force is also ready to take nature's challenges and a subject for your travel experience stories.

Sikkim will always enchant you with its natural beauty but nonetheless the road, small flowers, ample greenery with hundreds of birds, hospitable people will attract your attention. The food is just awesome &Thukpa& Momo are must try. I am quite in love with Thukpa. Street side momo are way better than Kolkata momos. You'll be amazed by the behavior of the local people. They are happy to help always & with smiling face.
