Pelling a beautifully located hill at a height of 6800ft initially covered with wild thick jungle providing hideouts and shelter to many indigenous wild animals of that period including Wildman( may not be yeti though). Slowly this gentle ridge attracted cattle herders, shepherds and some meditators allowing human habitation around it . This ridge being located in between two old Buddhist monasteries (Pemayangtse and Sangacholing), it took no long time for it to develop into a full fledged village named Pelling , which remained from the name of an old monastery Pemachoeling . Today, this little village Pelling has become the best chosen tourist destination in Sikkim due to its scenic location and the advantage of having the closest view of world third highest  mountain Mt. Khang –Chen-Dzonga.
