  Rimbi River, Waterfalls, Village, Old power station, Sewaro rock garden:  
 

About 12kms away from Pelling and about 5kms further down from Darap village is Rimbi River Bank which falls on the way to Khecheopalri and Yuksam where the main attractions are the river, water falls, oldest Hydel power station, Sewaro rock garden and the village.

 
     
 

Water falls is spectacular in summer that attract many waterfalls lovers,  The power station by name Karchen Power house is the oldest in west Sikkim which was made in early 70's during the last king’s government which successfully supplied energy to the most villages and towns of West Sikkim including Gazing ,Tigjuck and Pelling. River is beautiful and breath taking but it is only in the winter when river water decreases and becomes gentle, the tourists with families go right inside the river bank and enjoy river and local children are found doing fishing . Fishing is common activity of the locals all through the year. However in monsoon when the river becomes big and violent, tourists are advised not to attempt swimming or not to play in the river. It is, but enjoyable to watch the river from close
distance. 
Right there is Sewaro Rock Garden developed by the tourism department of Sikkim, richly maintained with rocks, gardens, pools, zigzag foot paths and interesting recreation amenities like swimming yard, viewpoints and cafeteria. This has now come up as one of the popular picnic spots for the locals in Sikkim where many local picnic parties arrive in winter. On the other side is a village inhabited by local people from mixed communities and schools with beautiful children . Visit them.
Besides these spots there are orange orchards and beautiful villages in habited by ethnic Sikkimese communities.
