The name “Rishyap” is derived from the local language in which “Ri” means high or loftyard “shyap” means a forest with age-old trees. Nestled amidst the mighty ranges, the Himalayan hamlet of Rishyap is a Nature-lovers’ paradise. Rishyap is subtly placed on the lap of “Tiffin Dara”, overlooking the Neora Valley at an altitude of 7743 ft. and Rishyap at an altitude of 8500 ft.
It is located in North Bengal, best known for its panoramic view of not only 180 degree Mt. Kanchenjunga but also Mt. Kokthang, Kabru , Pandim and the Mt. Khang, Rathong, Kabru (North South, Dome and Forth), Talung Pandim Simvo, Narsingh, Siniolchu. One can expect himself to be kissed by the clouds and inhale tons of fresh unadulterated air.
The deep silent forest of Pine, Birch, Fir and Orchids with soothing path following the chirps of birus & the view of big sky on the lad of snowcapped Khang-Chen-D-Zongha is a special gift of Rishyap.
