Every year as the summer begins, people run towards the mountains. But not everyone can afford expensive hotels or fancy destination. In such a situation, some quiet, beautiful and cheap hill stations present in and around Sikkim are the best options for you. The weather here is very pleasant, the crowd is also less and the travel experience is fantastic. The special thing is that here you will enjoy natural beauty as well as local culture and food.
Kalimpong, adjacent to Sikkim, is a hill station where the congestion is less and peace is full. The weather here is very fresh and relaxed in summer. Kanchenjanga peaks seen from Kalimpong are no less than a gift for travelers. Apart from this, the nursery, local market and Buddhist monasteries of flowers here give it a distinct identity. The cost of living and eating here is also much lower than other hill stations.
In such a situation, if you want to spend some relaxed days between nature away from the crowd, then Karsiyang and Mirik are the right places for you. Tea gardens filled with greenery, small footpaths and Buddhist monasteries give a different feel. The weather here is neither very cold nor hot just perfect. This place is a great place for those who want to relax from the run -up of the office. Mirik is identified by her Samendu Lake, where you can enjoy boating, horse riding and walking tracks. The peaks of Kanchanjunga, seen in the greenery and background spread around the lake, make it even more special. Both these places are budget friendly and a 2-3-day trip can be planned here at a comfortable cost.
Apart from this, if you want to enjoy both nature and adventure, then the pelling must be in your travel list. Settled in Sikkim's West Region, this small but very beautiful hill station is very popular among adventure lovers and photography enthusiasts. The glimpse of Kanchenjanga, which is visible from Peling, makes the beginning of the day very beautiful. Places like Pemayangste Monastery, Rimbi Waterfall, Rabdense ruins and sky walk make your trip fun. Here the options of hotels are also found in the budget and local food is very tasty and cheaper. This place is perfect to go with family, couple or friends.
