If experiencing the adventure of walking on a glass skywalk was on your bucket list, then let me tell you that now you don’t need to travel all the way to a foreign country to do so. Sikkim, the land of Buddhism and natural beauty, has introduced the first-ever glass skywalk in India.

The skywalk in Pelling is located opposite the 137 ft tall statue of Chenrezig, amidst the magnificent Himalayas, providing a beautiful view of the Buddhist pilgrimage site. The whole complex is located at a height of 7,200 feet above sea level. The walk on the transparent path of glass towards the statue is surely an experience you must not miss out. Also, we can’t avoid looking down through those transparent glasses, right? The skywalk leads you to golden prayer hall at the base, surrounded by the lofty peaks and valleys of Sikkim.
