The
laid back, scenic, but rapidly swelling
hamlet of Pelling, situated 2,085m above
sea level only 2-km beyond Pemayangtse,
looks north towards the glaciers and
peaks of Kanchenjunga. High above the
forest- covered hills, in an amphitheatre
of cloud, snow and rock, the entire
route from Yoksum over Dzongri La to
the Rathong Glacier can be seen. Pelling
gives a spectacular views of the Mount
Khangchendzonga, the Guardian Deity
of Sikkim and the worlds third highest
mountain along with other sister mountains
bowing before the Godly figure in reverence.
Pelling is an ideal getaway for tourists
as its vicinity has numerous waterfalls,
soft trek routes, villages and soothing
atmosphere for all discerning.
Pelling itself consists of little
more than a road junction, Helicopter
pad and numerous hotels, creating
the so-called "Bengali Boulevard",
a strip of highly unimaginative identikit
concrete blocks. Luckily, from most
angles the forested slopes hide this
development and Pelling offers numerous
attractive walks and hotel terraces
from where one can gaze in awe at
the world's third highest peak.
