Cost of Living in Sikkim - Work From Mountains (Pelling)
I have shifted to Sikkim and moved my base to Pelling! Life in the mountains is slow and peaceful :)
This vlog will tell you how a typical day looks like in the mountains, as well as other essential things like accommodation, cost, market, food, etc. and how life has been in the middle of the pandemic.
Lockdown is not that strict. Movement is allowed in Pelling and vehicles are still running. However, inter state movement is restricted.
Some important notes -
1. WiFi is extremely good in the place where I am staying.
2. Vodafone and Airtel work the best.
3. There are tons of restaurants and cafes to eat out from, however, currently most of them are shut
4. Pelling is a tourist town. All you will find over here are hotels and cafes with 0 to no local life.
5. Car/bike rentals options are extremely difficult and scarce.

I have been to Pelling in 2019. I stayed at Lower Pelling. The view is breath taking with snow laden mountain peaks and chirping of birds. The best place I visited in my life so far.
i am in love with the eastern music and culture. i feel like a connection when i see the architecture and the beauty of the culture. and food ofcourse. sichuan, tibet, sikkim etc... i love it.
Leo is an amazing person, filled with knowledge and an amzing trek lead! Amazing to see him in the video! :D
1997 me dheka tha Sikkim... Tab bhi sundar tha aur aaj bhi hai... Gangtok bhout khubsurat hai...
Sikkim is so mesmerising.. You need to visit Zuluk and Nathang Valley. It's so beautiful and very less travelled. You'll find quite a lot wooden homestay at Nathang valley near the school.

Hello my friend Leo saldanha..good to see you after long..the knowledgable man from Mukta top...cheers!!
Few very important details needed: 1) which network has internet connection- Jio/ Airtel/ Vodafone/BSNL good enough for you to login and do office work? 2) The hotel you stayed...was it having WiFi? 3) Any hotels or cafe with good WiFi and that allows to work from there? Pls share these details
Thinking from a WFH perspective, how is the internet quality in Pelling, a speed test number of your service provider would be a real good help.

if you are thinking WFH perspective from mountains go for Uttrakhand rather than Sikkim .. broadband was 100-150 MBPS , also Jio Wifi gives 4-5MBPS speed , I stayed at Pithoragarh for 6 months in previous lockdown ..electricity is also decent
This place is more clean and beautiful than that of Himachal... Need to be branded more by Ministry of tourism dept in India.

It hits my guilty Buttons when I come late to watch the videos and then think to complain about the length of the video. Dil manage more kya karu but honestly a video takes a lot, and even when you're not able to travel much you still put out a vlog and it makes me so happy to see you still at it and going. Sikkim is beautiful. The concept behind the five colored flags which is all over there just surprises me in the depth of our culture. You are doing really great di.

Visiting darjeeling-pelling next week. This vlog just oozes comfort. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey.
Inspiring and tempting me to travel but this lockdown has been a major hurdle. hope to visit sikkim soon and will be exploring the beautiful locations
Radhika please mention the Internet connectivity there ? You are uploading videos so I sure some network works
Hi @Radhika Nomllers , I am also planning to move to sikkim for 1-1.5 years . I am an IT professional and intend to take break to work on my Music album. In how much rent would I be able to get a 1BHK slightly north of Gangtok close to a waterfall or any other place close to a waterfall . I would also bring my wife(homemaker) and an 8 year old kid.
My two cents of opinion to fellow Indian Tourists: Please do not litter the place , Sikkim is very clean because locals keep it that way , most Indians have bad civic sensePlease respect the local culture by atleast learning couple of sentences from local language..you will connect with the locals in a deeper way if you speak their language Just because you have that tourist money doesnt mean you own people who are their to serve you

Glad that you chose Pelling. I am staying and working in Sikkim for the past five years now. I always felt that west Sikkim needs much exploration unlike the east and North much sees a lot of footfall. As an outsider living here for half a decade now, I can vouch that Sikkim helped me grow emotionally.

I stayed at west for one and half years and I found both Airtel and Vodafone working fine. jio too works but at certain locations. Like where I stayed I didn't receive any tower but just at the ground floor working network was there. Anyways I switched to LAN connection and then I never faced any problem except when the router going off when any day electricity went but that too rarely. Hope this helps you.
