Singling, West Sikkim Diary


Sikkim is a state in northeast India, bordered by Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal. Part of the Himalayas, the area has a dramatic landscape that includes India’s highest mountain, Kangchenjunga. Sikkim is also home to glaciers, alpine meadows and thousands of varieties of wildflowers.

Are you a hills and mountains lover? Then Sikim will be your destination. We got a chance to stay few days with the nature.  If you are getting bored with daily life, city traffic, crowd and obviously city pollution then Singling the right destination for you.

Singling is a Village in Soreng Tehsil in West District District of Sikkim State, India. It is located 63 KM towards South from District head quarters Geyzing. 3 KM from Soreng. 51 KM from State capital Gangtok.

2-3 days are good time for your refreshment.  Weather is pleasant in Singling and sometime its cold in summer time also.

We have started from Kolkata, Sealdah station to New Jalpaiguri (NJP) at 10.00pm, by morning 8:00am (approx) we reached NJP.


From NJP you can book a personal car or bus or public car to Soreng. We booked a car to Soreng via Jorethang. After NJP road side view was awesome. Mountainous roads, abyss and obviously Teesta River will be your companion throughout the road. After all the excitement on the road, we have reached Soreng, thanks to Mr. Dhushan the owner of the Home stay at Singling, he came to Soreng to receive us with his SUV car. It took 30 mins from Soreng to Singling. It was cold that time, almost 7 pm we entered in the cottage. Its almost 675 km (approx) from Kolkata to Singling.

After a long journey its time to take some rest, after having our dinner we went to bed.

Morning become really good with a good tea in a pleasant weather..



That cottage and its view really nice



After having breakfast we moved out from our cottage..


Yes we need to went up there



then again walked towards the unknown..


on your way you can find a nearby village also


you can find some flag roadside, something written on it.. as per the local people or myth, the air touches the flag turn to holy air and it will purify evil things in nature


Then we moved to the cottage and had our lunch. After few hours, again we went outside


And its really awesome, walked through the nature



After roaming here and there certainly we realized, oh its time to go to the cottage
