Pelling· 4.3 · 66 stays

“A simple home in Lower Pelling, away from the main town crowds. Some of the four rooms open to balconies with views of Kanchenjunga on clear days. The kitchen serves fresh, simple meals - think hot parathas and local vegetables. A good place to pause before a trek from Yuksom or a visit to the old monasteries nearby.”

A look around

What's here

The home is in Lower Pelling, a quieter part of town. The air is clear up here. On good days, you wake up to the mountains. The home has four simple, spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, accommodating up to eight people in total. The rooms are clean and uncluttered, with large windows letting in the hill light. Some have balconies that look out towards the snow peaks. As one guest put it, "You can enjoy the views of Mt Kanchenjunga from sitting in bed." There is a small restaurant and bar on-site, a place to gather in the evenings. The kitchen is family-run and focuses on simple, freshly prepared food. Guests often remember the small things: "The paratha and the freshly cooked vegetables were very tasty." It’s a straightforward place, with a focus on the essentials. Another guest found the rooms "very very good .. better than many hotel rooms."

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Pelling is a good base for exploring West Sikkim's history and nature. The Pemayangtse Monastery, a major 17th-century seat of the Nyingma order, is perched on a ridge just above the valley, with its own frame for the Kanchenjunga range. About 30km away, hidden in a dense forest, is Khecheopalri Lake, a sacred wishing lake where the water is kept clean by birds picking up fallen leaves.

The first capital of Sikkim, Yuksom, is 32km away. It’s a quiet, historic town and the starting point for the famous Goecha La and Dzongri treks. For a different kind of view, the Singshore Bridge, one of the highest gorge bridges in Asia, is also about 30km from Pelling. Closer by, a 7km drive or a walk through the forest leads to the Rabdentse ruins, the atmospheric remains of Sikkim's second capital. For those who like a walk, the Sangachoeling Monastery, older than Pemayangtse, is a 40-minute uphill hike. The Pelling Sky Walk offers a glass platform with wide-open views of the valley and the giant Chenrezig statue.

Logistics

Sikkim's own airport, Pakyong (PYG), is closer at 130km but flights are often cancelled due to weather. By rail: New Jalpaiguri (NJP) is the nearest major railway station, around 150km away. The drive to Pelling takes about 5 hours. By road: Pelling is well-connected to other parts of Sikkim. Gangtok, the capital, is 130km away (a 4-5 hour drive). Jorethang, a key junction town, is 75km away.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best time to visit Pelling is from October to mid-June. The autumn months, from October to December, offer crisp air and the clearest views of Kanchenjunga. Spring, from March to May, is when the rhododendrons are in bloom. The monsoon season, from late June to September, brings heavy rain and often causes landslides on the road to Pelling, making travel risky.
