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. |
