Once again Escape Enchanted brings you another travel destination not frequented regularly and off-course a perfect getaway and a cheap vacation to beat the heat.
Before anything else must prepare you for the travel destination and that is no mobile network, limited electricity (sometimes non), no hustle bustle of city or town life, no shopping malls or market place. In abundance you would certainly get peace, nature, fresh unpolluted air, sweet natural mineral water and above all one location with both river and the hills.
Reshi Khola also known as Rishi Khola (if you doing a Google search) located in the sub-division of Kalimpong and the river itself is the border of Sikkim and West Bengal. Tranquil location where you only hear the sound of the river and the breeze. Perfect get away for nature watching with near by hills to explore and the river itself.
What you can do at Reshi Khola? Answer would be nothing (as I did most of the time). Well you can go for light trek around the near by hills or walk down the river bank. Laze around take a dip in the cool water of Reshi or for all you know you can try your hand at fishing. If you don't get lucky with fishing the local guys would be more than happy to share their catch (done with the help of a small genset- eco-friendly). Above all you can relax here and for me that is perfect vacation.
How do you get to Reshi Khola? Closest Railway station is New Jalpaiguri, Airport is Bagdogra and closest town is Kalimpong. Most convinient way to travel is to get to Kalimpong and take a shared jeep to Pedong and then hire a cab to Reshi Khola. Reshi Khola is at a distance of 104 km from Siliguri, 35 km from Kalimpong, 21 km from Algaragh and 14 km from Pedong.
