Hey guys❤

Welcome back to my next blog😉

It is also a further continued blog of the topic The Art of Tourism of Sikkim.

So lets start our blog😊

6. Pelling

If you are an ardent fan of the captivating Himalayan Range, Pelling is the destination for you! It is from this Sikkimese town, one can have the best views of the Himalayas and the Kanchenjunga Peak, and can experience the best of their Sikkim holidays.

Located at a height of 7,200ft above the sea, this scenic town is bestowed with several waterfalls, breath-taking views, natural beauty and adventure options like rafting, kayaking, trekking, mountain biking and several others.

The climate in Pelling is moderate throughout the year, therefore one can plan a trip any time of the year. However, the best time to visit would be during the summer months between May and July.

Since Pelling is located at a high altitude, it often receives snowfall during the winter months.

7. Namchi

Translated into the native Tibetan language, Namchi means the ‘top of the sky’. And on a visit to this magnificent Sikkimese city, this will be proved! Located around 92km from Gangtok and at a height of 1,675m above the sea level, it is also one of the most gorgeous cities in the state.

More than tourism, Namchi is more considered as a pilgrimage centre for the Buddhists. Amongst the important religious sites, the Namchi Monastery, Tendong Hill and Ralong Monasteries are the pre-dominant. The city also has a 108ft. Lord Shiva statue and is visited a large number of Hindu devotees as well.

The best time to visit Namchi is from March to October.

If you are travelling during monsoon season, beware of muddy and slippery roads and landslides.

Namchi is known for its breath-taking scenic beauty and serenity.

Hope you all like it, stay tuned with me.
