nestled at an altitude of 2,150 m (7,200 feet). The town is located at a distance of 10 km from the district headquarters of Geyzing. A regular bus service connects the two towns.

Pelling also forms the base from where trekkers and other peripatetic adventurers undertake the strenuous and arduous treks in West Sikkim.

In the months of winter, Pelling is sometimes covered with a blanket of snow

Yes Sir.
Frankly speaking it is such a place from where you can view the divine beauty of Kanchenjunga and other range of the Himalayas very closely.
The view of Kanchenjunga from Pelling is unparallel.
Moreover the beauty is speechless when the Kanchenjunga is covered with snow.

posted this place as some of my friends and acquaintances visited this place quite often and shared their experience, if you visit Pelling you will experience something different which is not present either in Darjeeling or in Gangtok.
Detrain either at Shiliguri(SGUJ) or at NJP.
Take a Sumo/Jeep from there, from Shiliguri it is 135 kms, from NJP it is 139 kms.
Bus service is also there from both SGUJ and NJP to Pelling.
The entire route either from Shiliguri or from NJP to Pelling is decorated with everlasting sweet greenaries and natural beauties. Moreover Pelling is not so conjested like Darjeeling or Gangtok. It is a very quiet place full with natural beauties of The Himalayas and some marvellous waterfalls.
If possible, please make a trip to this place.
For more details regarding Pelling please visit the following Website "Go Pelling" of Pelling Tourism Development Association

This blog undoubtedly contains "Treasure" for the "Lovers of Nature".
It describes a "Hill Station" which has a plethora of divine beauties, which makes it different from it's couterparts but not so common in general.
