Khanchendzonga Waterfall

Khanchendzonga Waterfall, located approximately 10 km from Yuksom and 24 km from Pelling, is one of Sikkim’s most breathtaking natural wonders.

A small footbridge and strategically placed rocks allow visitors to get close to the roaring waters, making it an ideal location for photography, relaxation, and nature appreciation. The misty atmosphere and the sound of crashing water create a truly immersive experience.

For adventure lovers, the site offers thrilling zip-lining over the waterfall, providing a bird’s-eye view of the natural beauty below. There are also local eateries and souvenir stalls nearby, offering refreshments and handcrafted items for travelers to enjoy. Whether you're seeking tranquility, excitement, or a scenic stop on your journey through West Sikkim, Khanchendzonga Waterfall is a must-visit destination that combines natural splendor with local charm.
