Geography & terrain

Singshore Bridge lies in the West Sikkim district of Sikkim at about 1,700 m, 25 km from Pelling and 120 km from Gangtok — the suspension bridge of the region, its 200-m span, the canyon and the cloud views set on the Rangit valley.

History & culture

The bridge's story runs with the 1998 building era — the suspension bridge of the 200-m span and the 1998-era opening of the Sikkim roads, with the bridge's modern role as the view stop of the Pelling circuit and the home of the 1998-era span and the canyon decks and the mountain lines; the bridge's history of the 2010s-era rework and the cloud seasons, gives Singshore its bridge character.
