Rishikhola Homestay

Rishikhola Homestay sits peacefully on the banks of the Reshi River, offering a quiet Himalayan escape where the sound of flowing water replaces city noise. Tucked near Shiv Mandir in Reshi, Sikkim, this homestay is ideal for travelers seeking nature, simplicity and easy access without venturing too far off the main routes. The charm of the place lies in its riverside setting. Step out and you’re moments away from the cool riverbank, where you can dip your feet in the water, walk along the pebbled shore or just watch the current glide past. A dedicated seating area makes it easy to spend slow mornings with a cup of tea, reading, birdwatching or simply soaking in the mountain air. Rooms are simple, cozy and designed for comfort after a day of exploring the hills. The approachable location means you don’t need intense trekking experience to enjoy this corner of Sikkim—families, couples and small groups can all settle in easily. Evenings often revolve around warm local meals, conversations and the soothing sounds of the river, creating a relaxed, homely atmosphere. The homestay also works well as a base for short excursions. Shree Vishwa Vinayak Temple is within day-trip reach for those interested in spiritual sites and impressive temple architecture. Adventure and nature lovers can head to Lampokhari (Aritar Lake), a serene hilltop lake known for boating and forested surroundings, or make their way to Ramitay View Point, where sweeping Himalayan panoramas and valleys unfold beneath you on clear days. With its combination of river views, comfortable seating spaces and convenient reach from Kalimpong, New Jalpaiguri and Bagdogra, this homestay offers a balanced stay—close to nature yet reasonably accessible. It’s a place to unwind, slow your pace and experience the quieter side of Sikkim’s hills.
