Pelling stacks along a west-Sikkim ridge with the Kanchenjunga massif filling the horizon: the skywalk and Chenrezig statue below town, the 17th-century Pemayangtse monastery up the road, Rabdentse ruins in the forest, and the Khecheopalri lake within reach.
It is the gentler Sikkim: road-accessible, permit-free and made for slow mornings.
