Kaluk Tourism

A beautiful village named Kaluk, located in west Sikkim at an elevation of 1620 feet and on the flank of the Himalayan Mountains, is widely known among travellers for its ethereal ordinary beauty. Kaluk provides its visitors with some of the most breathtaking vistas of Mount Kanchenjunga, apart from the noisy city life. It is one of Sikkim’s windiest locations and is known for the Megi Dara, Rinchenpong Monastery, and Durga Mandir.

The distinctive assets are a blessing in plenty for Kaluk, which is fortunate to be located in the cushion zone of the renowned Varsey Rhododendron Sanctuary. When visiting Kaluk, visitors may get a glimpse of the traditional culture that the Lepchas people from the nearby towns have successfully preserved.

Previously, Kaluk’s population was solely dependent on agriculture, but since the region was designated as an ecotourism hotspot, tourism has taken over as the main source of income for the locals. One of the towns in west Sikkim that provides a 180-degree view of Mt. Kanchenjunga and its surrounding regions is Kaluk. The lush vegetation in Kaluk’s highlands makes it the ideal vacation spot for all lovers of the outdoors. In the middle of wilderness, far from polluted air and the monotony of city life, lies a location called Kaluk.
