Spend Nights Next to A Spouting Waterway In West Bengal’s Sirikhola
Spend Nights Next to A Spouting Waterway. In West Bengal’s Sirikhola. Sirikhola in West Bengal is a beautiful valley surrounded by densely forested mountains and a river flowing with full vigour. Rivers in the mountains are the best; playful, charming and flowing with an admirable force. They cross all hurdles, and all rocks—no matter how big or small—have to surrender and make way ultimately.

Rimbik, the sloping town with a hustling business sector and bunches of movement is just 9km away, ideal for you to pay a day visit and canyon on some astonishing Nepali and Tibetan and neighborhood food. We made them astound chime mo and sheep stew. On the off chance that there’s a customer inside you, the vivid nearby market of Rimbik is most certainly worth a visit.
