Rimbi Waterfall
A roadside waterfall on the way from Pelling to Khecheopalri Lake, beside the Rimbi River and orange groves, often the first stop on a loop tour.
Rimbi Waterfall lies in Rimbi village, about 12 km northwest of Pelling, right beside the road to Khecheopalri Lake and Yuksom. The water cascades in tiers down the rock face into the Rimbi River, surrounded by lush vegetation. Picnics are possible by the river. In winter, when Sikkimese mandarin oranges are harvested, roadside sellers often offer them. The site is small, so a stop of 20–30 minutes is enough, and most western-loop day trips from Pelling stop here. The nearby village of Darap is a good place to experience Limbu farm life.
