Skywalk and Pemayangtse Monastery

Pelling

Pelling's glass Skywalk is Sikkim's most Instagram-worthy attraction — a glass-floored bridge suspended above the valley with full-frontal views of Kanchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak. Pair this with a visit to Pemayangtse Monastery, one of the oldest and most revered Buddhist monasteries in Sikkim, and you have the definitive Pelling experience. The seven-tiered wooden model of Zangdopelri (the heavenly abode of Guru Rinpoche) inside the monastery is a masterpiece of traditional Sikkimese art.

Pro tip from your tour advisor

Visit the monastery at 6 AM for morning prayers — the chanting of monks at dawn with mist-covered peaks in the background is one of the most moving experiences in Sikkim.
