I had to walk more than 700 kms from Gangtok to reach pelling, the west of sikkim.
While north sikkim has a lot of restrictions and checking, the west becomes as calm as possible.

After reaching pelling I walked to a backpacker hostel called mochilero ostello.

Pelling displays a full view of kanchanjunga the 3rd highest mountain of the world.

Pelling has a lot of places, I walked for 20 days just around to unfold pelling at it's best.

I came across a hidden cave in mountains, a hidden monasteries and a lot of beautiful spots while exploring the touristic places like Skywalk. 

Pelling is not just a one day task, if you wish to unfold pelling you need to dive deep in food, culture and nature.

As the food resonates the Living style and their working pattern. 

The local food is absolutely amazing and is organically grown mostly all around sikkim.

The chemical fertilizers are banned in sikkim which helps to gives fresh and organic food.

Just to take a simple walk can experience caves to forest to monastery to football ground to locals and their lifestyle.

There is no particular place that is special in pelling, the whole pelling is special itself.

Kangchenjunga at 4 am in the morning.
