“ I love mountains. It makes me feel small and insecure and thus helps me to embrace myself really tight. It teaches me to value my life. “ Everyone likes to find a cosy little balcony inside the hotel room from where one can get an unhindered view of the mountains. In fact, for me, that is the primary concern when I search for an accommodation for my vacation in the Himalayas. No window can replace that charm. NEVER. Balconies are the best-kept secret of a mountain trip. But what makes things difficult is getting a nice accommodation with mountain-facing balcony in a budget. You really need to google a lot for that. But if you are planning to visit Pelling in West Sikkim, then things become much easier for you. Because Pelling itself is a natural Himalayan balcony to enjoy the view of mighty Kanchenjunga range.
