How To Reach Kanchenjunga Falls

Pelling, Sikkim, India
Introduction and Location: Kanchenjunga Falls is a majestic and perennial waterfall located on the route between Pelling and Yuksom in West Sikkim, approximately 24 KMS from Pelling town center. It is one of the most famous and largest waterfalls in Sikkim and a prime spot on the West Sikkim tourist circuit. Natural Origin and Sight: The waterfall is believed to originate from the high glaciers and perennial snow-fed streams of the Mount Kanchenjunga range, the world's third-highest peak, which lends the falls its name. The water gushes down from a significant height, forming a roaring spectacle that can be heard from a distance. The last stretch to the main falls viewing area requires climbing a flight of approximately 50 steps from the roadside, adding to the anticipation. Discovery and Popularity: The falls remained largely hidden from the public until the early 1990s, when a local tour operator reportedly discovered it. Since then, its splendid beauty and glory have quickly propelled it to become one of the leading tourist spots in West Sikkim, making it an excellent spot for family picnics and nature photography. It offers a cool, misty environment, a perfect respite, especially during the warmer months.
