A view of West Bengal across the river from Sikkim, amidst rain and clouds enveloping the Himalayan mountains at Rishikhola, Sikkim, India, on April 18, 2026. Rishikhola, located on the West Bengal-Sikkim border in the Himalayan foothills, is known for camping, trout fishing, and its peaceful atmosphere along the Rishi River. Situated at 2,000 feet in the West Bengal Kalimpong district, it serves as a major stopover on the old Silk Route. The region is one of the most inaccessible in the Himalayas, with travel between Sikkim and West Bengal possible only via a temporary bamboo bridge, which is often washed away during the monsoon due to heavy rainfall and rising water levels.
