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.

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.

[@sorthichetan]

Not great. They have electricity issues as well

[@mukulmisra7594]

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

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.

[@charliewilliamson881]

Hello friend! I have been to sikkim twice and thinking of moving there as I work online. My work involves 8 hours live video calling everyday, is internet good enough in west sikkim for 8 hours video calling per day?

[@the.santupatra]

@@charliewilliamson881 hello there! Well to be very honest connectivity issues are there. 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.
