Chenrezig Statue & Pelling Skywalk
Chenrezig Statue & Sky Walk
Sikkim's first glass skywalk leads to a giant Chenrezig statue, with views over the Pelling valley and the Kanchenjunga peaks in the distance.
The Chenrezig Statue & Pelling Skywalk, built in 2018 on the upper ridge of Pelling below Sanga Choeling Monastery, centres on a seated four-armed Chenrezig statue about 41 metres tall. From the car park you climb steps, then walk along a glass-floored skywalk to the platform in front of the statue, with the valley beneath your feet. On clear days the Kanchenjunga peaks are visible. The base of the statue houses a shrine room. It has become a popular photo spot in Pelling and gets crowded in peak season. Entry costs about 50–100 rupees. Those afraid of heights can take the regular steps alongside. It is about 20–30 minutes' walk from central Pelling, or you can take a vehicle.
