About Pelling
Pelling is a small town in the district of West Sikkim, a beautifully located hill station at a height of 6800 ft initially covered with wild thick jungle providing hides and shelter to many indigenous wild animals of that period including Wildman. The place later attracted cattle herders, shepherds and some mediators allowing human habitation around it.
