Kanchenjunga Falls Tourism

Kanchenjunga Falls is an exquisite waterfall located close to Pelling in West Sikkim, India, and is one of the state's natural wonders. It is named after the third highest mountain in the world, Mt. Kanchenjunga, which looms in the backdrop. The falls are fed by the glaciers of Mount Kanchenjunga and are perennial, with the water cascading down rugged cliffs with a thunderous roar that can be heard from afar. They plunge from a height of approximately 100 feet, creating a misty ambiance around them. Surrounding the falls are the lush green forests contributing to the serene and pristine environment. Visitors can climb the modestly built stairs to reach the viewpoint for a closer look and sometimes feel the spray of the water. This natural attraction is en route to Yuksom and therefore is a popular stop for trekkers. There is a small entry fee to access the viewpoint, and the site features some local souvenir shops where visitors can purchase local handicrafts and refreshments.
