Rishop - Favorite Hill Station - Colors of West Bengal - Destination East - Incredible India
Rishop or also spelt as Rishyap is a Himalayan hamlet in West Bengal. 2591 m above sea-level, it's a nice quaint village away from city crowds, with picturesque views of snow-capped mountains. The sun plays vermillion through the day. At night the big sky seems to come closer. Beneath the sky the twinkling lights of Gangtok & Pedong are similar to the twinkling stars above. Tourists are attracted by the natural beauty of Neora Valley National Park (Sikkim) & Tiffindara. Both are enjoyed through trekking route which is a deep silent forest of pine, birch, fir & orchids with some soothing path following the chirps. The nearest jeep/ bus stand is Lava. Rishop is just 4 kms uphill from Lava. The road however is rough and not paved, so trekking is the better option.
Lava is 2.5 hours from Siliguri (nearest major city) by road. Buses to Lava ply from the Tenzing Norgay Bus terminus and Sikkim National Transport station in Hill Cart Road.
Bagdogra is the nearest airport with daily 3-4 flights (mostly in the afternoon) from New Delhi/ Kolkata/ Guwahati.
New Jalpaiguri is the nearest major rail head, and is connected with rest of the country, more frequently with Kolkata.
New Mal Junction is the nearest railway station from Lava. Distance 58 km & 70 km from Rishop.
The road from Siliguri is scenic with Dooars tea gardens on both sides. The most recommended way to reach Lava is by a rented cab,although buses are available. Also try to avail the route through Damdim as the road passes through beautiful tea gardens & step farming.
