Getting there and around
Gyalshing is connected by road to major towns in Sikkim and West Bengal. The nearest airport is Bagdogra in West Bengal, about 160 kilometres away, and the closest railway station is New Jalpaiguri. From there, shared jeeps and taxis are available to Gyalshing, typically via Jorethang or Melli; the journey takes several hours and offers scenic views of the Teesta River and surrounding hills. Within Gyalshing, local transport includes shared jeeps, taxis and walking, as the town is compact. For Pelling and Pemayangtse, taxis or shared vehicles can be hired from the bazaar area.
When to go
The best time to visit Gyalshing is from March to May and from October to November, when the weather is pleasant and skies are often clear, offering good mountain views. The monsoon months from June to September bring heavy rainfall and landslides, which can disrupt travel. Winter, from December to February, is cold with temperatures sometimes dropping near freezing, but the skies can be clear. Many travellers avoid the monsoon due to the risk of road blockages.
