Hotel Chenden Dzong which covers the didtance of nearly
two kilometers from Pelling . The village starts from
where the road begins it has on either side of the road
lushly green half wild vegetation and red cardamom
plants, farming fields and the traditional houses with
Buddhist prayer flags, that is the hallmark of the
Bhutia community whose culture, tradition and way of
life are interesting to experience. Lower down the
village are mostly the Chettri, Bahun community . Their
culture, tradition and way of life too are interesting

Pelling on the left side which can be seen near from
the end of lower Pelling. Singyang has habitation of
Bhutia, Gurung and other mixed Nepali community . Where

Besides the road there are short cut foot paths
