4 weeks agoRimbi Orange Garden is a serene and picturesque spot near Pelling, perfect for a peaceful retreat amidst nature. The garden is lush with vibrant orange trees and offers a refreshing riverside view. You are not allowed to pluck the orange from the tree. It's an ideal place for photography, leisurely strolls, or just soaking in the tranquility. There’s a small entry fee, but the natural beauty and calm atmosphere make it worthwhile. Highly recommended for nature lovers and families.

a month agoThe waterfall was good. But I haven't experienced the best, as it's an okay place. Rather it's a good place to visit. But yes I have seen many other beautiful waterfalls than this. But yes the orange garden was good. Many oranges can be seen and also many shops were selling fresh orange juices. The garden was good and it's a nice place to visit while you are in Pelling. So 4 stars for the waterfall but 4.5 stars for the rimbi orange garden.

5 months agoRimbi orange garden is situated at Pelling west Sikkim.The entry ticket 🎫 to garden is ₹20 per person. The whole place is quite peaceful and beautiful - a clean & calm stream of water flowing through the forest and over many big & small rocks (hence "rock garden"). The path to the river winds down through a well-maintained garden - it's clean and has basic facilities like bathrooms and a small canteen. There are a lot of orange trees in the garden, but we being out of season, no oranges. There are lots of flowers, many cardamom shrubs (Pelling is famous for it) and few other fruit trees. After walking down the hill through the garden, you can just sit near the river with your feet in the cold water or be more adventurous and cross to the other side.

a month agoNice place, beautiful waterfall scenary. Fresh orange juice was available. Do not buy walnut as those are extremely difficult to open. Those where not fully grown.
