Hike from the town of Pelling to the ruins at Rabdentse, what was the second capitol of Sikkim. The signs along the pathway will cheer you on as you make your way to the ruins (things like "do not get tired, great excitement awaits"). Also visit the monasteries in town, Pemayangtse (with its beautiful carving on the 3rd floor of "heaven") and Sanga Choeling (a welcome reward after a steep walk up hill).
The town is becoming more developed, but still retains its charm and the views are unparalleled! You can also set up longer treks from the town.
