Pelling Experience: Pelling is a wonderful place in West Sikkim. As it is situated at a remote area there is not so crowd and you can enjoy the nature peacefully. That place is suitable for 3 days vacation. You can capture every moment of word's 3rd highest peak. Sightseeings are also beautiful. From maximum hotel of this place you can see Kanchenjenga even from your room. Am sure that this place can make any body hill lover.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Restaurants : As this is small place there is no varieties of Restaurants. Every hotels have own restaurants. In upper Pelling you can see one or two restaurants. What to see : Pemayangtse Monastery, Khangchendzonga water falls, Rimbi Water falls, Rock Garden, Khecheopalri Wishing Lake, Rabdentse Palace ruins, Yuksam coronation throne, Sin sore Bridge, etc. If you book a whole day package you can complete all the places. Shopping : There is no so called market, One or Two Show piece stall entertain the tourists.

Activities & things to do: As this place is small there is not much for doing except enjoying calm nature and Kanchenjenga. You can visit Sangachoeling Asia's Oldest highest situated monastery. It is treck rout but for all as there is no car service available. In this way you find Helipad and Most costly hotel of Pelling. From here you can go Rinchenpong or Varsey for one night tour.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Kolkata you have to Reach first at New Jalpaiguri or Shiliguri. There are many trains. From NJP you can book a car direct to pelling or share taxi. For sharing basis Shiliguri is the best option. From Shiliguri You can get Bus but only two buses run in this rout and it takes 7-8 hrs to reach pelling. In my opinion car is the best option for this rout as the rout is now not in well condition.

Pelling Experience: Excellent place to visit for a short period of 3N 4D. The place still has a old world charm unlike of the major hill stations. The Hotel Garuda was nice for a budget customer like us however beware of the manager. The owner is a gentleman. Overall excellent trip.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food at the hotel as ok but not highly recomended. We did sightseeing for 3 days including ravangla. Our Car Owner Mr Jivan is a very sober and soft person. He took us to all the major destinations. Not much place for shopping though costly hilly artifacts mostly chinese

Activities & things to do: Not much Activity apart from sightseeing, Though you can trek some destination, which we did not do.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Reach by train to New Jalpaiguri or by plane to Bagdhogra. from there onward travel by car approx 5 hrs journey. Currently roads are not very good. Cost of car approx for Rs 2500( for cars of Pelling) if the care is of NJP cost may go upt o Rs 4000.

Pelling Experience: Pelling is good enough but to me very congested ,something not like Uttare. But the viewing of Kanchendghounga is simply mindblowing. The size of Pelling is not sufficient to accommodate such a huge no of travellers.But form an open area is simply unforgetable.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is good enough.Food at Hotel Hill Retreat is very Restaurants near helipad are also good. Destinations like Change falls,Khechepere lake are very good. Ravongla,Kaluk are also very good place to spend your night.Shopping fecility is available but they generally charge higher price for the travelers.

Activities & things to do: Very good place to spend a day or two.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Nearest railway station is NJP .One can take hired car from here. Shared car is also available.
