1 Location: West Sikkim is yet another heaven for nature lovers and it is better to take NH-31A by road via Singtham, Rongpo, Namthang, Namchi, Ravangla, Legship and Geyzing to visit W-Sikkim. The road ends at Geyzing at 5000ft. From Gangtok to Geyzing is about 138km via Melli / Jorethang, and112km via Ravangla, both the roads end at Legship. From Siliguri to Geyzing is 122km via Coronation Bridge / Teesta bazaar / Melli / Jorethang / Nayabazar / Legship / Geyzing From Geyzing you could visit Pelling (6100ft) which is 7km away, (10 km away). Climate Due to its altitude and sheltered environment, the town remains a mild, temperate climatic zone all year round. Temperatures range from an average maximum of 22 C (72 F) in summer to an average minimum of 4 C (39 F) in winter. Summers (lasting from late April to June) are mild, with maximum temperatures rarely crossing 25 C (77 F). The monsoon season from June to September is characterised by intense torrential rains often causing landslides that block the roads and thereby access to rest of the country. Rainfall starts to rise from pre-monsoon in May, and peaks during the monsoon, with July recording the highest monthly average of mm (25.6 in). In winter temperature remains between 4 C (39 F) and 7 C (45 F). Snowfall is in the very high altitude villages or places but foggy weather is very often. Transport: 1 / 6

Air service connects Delhi, Kolkata and Guwahati airport with Bagdogra. There are some hotels at bagdogra also. Due to frequent traffic dislocation caused by agitations or political problems in the hill areas or delayed arrival of flights, the stranded air-passengers may avail of these hotel accommodations instead of proceeding to wards Siliguri. There are plenty of taxis available for Gangtok from Bagdogra town / Airport. Travelers Entry permit: The Indian tourists need not to take permit to visit the principal tourist destinations viz. Gangtok, Pelling, Rumtek, etc. Carrying of a photo ID card is advisable while traveling. However, the permit is required to obtain locally for traveling to interior places beyond the limit.

There are hotels, markets, video centers also. One could visit Pemayangtse (7km) from Geyzing to see the sunset and Pelling (9km) on the way to Yuksom (45km). 2 / 6
3 Pemayangtse ( m) (2137m) meaning Perfect Sublime Lotus', from where you can have close unhindered view of Kanchenjunga and Mt Pandim, and facing an un ending chain of mountains with snowy peaks : Koktang (6147m), Kumbhakarna (7710m), Ratong (6679m), Kabru South (7338), Kabru North (7338m), Kabru Dom (6600m), Talung (7349m), Kanchenjunga (8585m), Pandim (6680m), Jopuno (5936m), Simbho (6811m), Narsing (5825m), Siniyalchu (6887m) and many others. Pemayangtse is the principal Monastery in Sikkim and it is 112 kms west of Gangtok. One of its most prized treasures is the Sang-tok-palri', an elaborate and minutely detailed curving on wood by late Dungzin Rinpoche depicting the Mahaguru's heavenly ascent. Opposite Pemayangtse is a small hill, and top of it is a Buddhist Monastery, which was built probably at 1705 at the period of the 3 rd Chogyal (Chador Namgyal), is the third (2 nd ) oldest Monastery in Sikkim. It was damaged in the earthquakes during 1913 and 1960, and renovated many times. The ornately decorated monastery has big prayer hall, Thangkus, many images, brillent pieces of murals and intricate trellises. Dungzin Rinpoche, the head of the monastery, took five years to build a wooden Sangtokpalri or Paradise of the Maha Guru, on the 2 nd floor. Worshippers come from far away places during Drugmar Chham or Mahakal Dance festival is held towards off the evil, in mid Feb (the Tibetan New Year). There the ruins of Gradients near Ting the meeting point of the Pemayangtse Geyzing bus route. The old dilapidated Chorten still stands there. Sikkim 's capital was shifted from Yuksom to Gradients in the later years of the 17 th century, during the 2 nd Chogyal's rule. 3 / 6

Pelling in the full moon is maddening, the rising sun on the mountains is a magic, and the mountains change colours constantly like a prehistorical chameleon. At south west of the Helipad a narrow jungle track is bedecked with flowers, goes up for 4km and takes you within an hour to Sanga Choeling, the oldest monastery, at 9000 ft build during 1697 situated on a ridge above Pelling and the famous gompa at Pemayangtse. Rimbi Falls is 12km away from Pelling. The Khecheopalri Lake is 29km from Pelling and 14km from Rimbi, the Holy Lake the Lepchas believe, is for wish fulfillment.

There is a small gompa by the lake side, during a festival in Feb- March devotees both Hindus & Buddhists float in the water butter lamps in small wooden containers. Fiercely rushing down from a 300ft high cleavage, Kanchenjunga Falls is an attractive sight, and its only 29km from Pelling.
