Darap Village
Darap
A traditional Limbu hill village where terraced fields, cardamom gardens and family homestays meet, offering a taste of Sikkimese farm life and views of the snow peaks.
Darap Village lies about 7 km west of Pelling. It is a traditional settlement, mainly of the Limbu people, set among hillside terraces where rice, maize and cardamom are grown. Several well-reviewed family homestays here let you eat traditional meals with local families and learn local crafts. You can also visit the Limbu cultural village and a small monastery. On clear days you can see Kanchenjunga. It is possible to walk from here to Rimbi Waterfall and on to Pelling. The village is quieter and more authentically local than staying in Pelling town.
