Suspended amidst the Himalayan peaks of Sikkim, the Pelling Glass Skywalk redefines what it means to walk with the clouds. India’s first transparent bridge, inaugurated in 2018 near the 137-foot Chenrezig statue, it is more than an attraction, it is a statement of confidence in materials that bring safety and vision together.
