Kanchenjunga Waterfall is one of the most spectacular natural attractions in West Sikkim, drawing visitors with its gushing white cascade and breathtaking mountain setting. Located approximately 25 to 28 km from Pelling, and about 18 km ahead of Rambi, the waterfall is also just 5 km from the historic town of Yuksom. The nearby Sewaro Rock Garden is within half an hour's reach, making it a natural companion stop on any West Sikkim itinerary.
About Kanchenjunga Waterfall
Kanchenjunga Waterfall was discovered by Topjor Bhutia in the mid-1990s and has since grown into one of the leading tourist attractions in West Sikkim. The fall is situated at a sharp curve on the roadside — unmissable for any traveller heading towards Pelling. A short climb from the road brings visitors to the base of the waterfall, which is not visible from the road itself.
The Waterfall Experience
The sight of the clean, gushing water tumbling down the rocky hillside is remarkable and deeply refreshing. Visitors are so captivated by its beauty that an hour can pass without anyone noticing. The sheer size of the falls — impressive throughout the year, though most powerful during and after the monsoon — and its visual grandeur make it an experience not to be missed.
