Rishi River During Monsoon - Border Of West Bengal And Sikkim - Himalayan Foothills

A view of the Himalayan mountains enveloped in clouds at Rishikhola, Sikkim, India, on April 18, 2026. Rishikhola, located on the West Bengal-Sikkim border, is known for its camping and trout fishing opportunities along the Rishi River. The area, situated at 2,000 feet in the Kalimpong district of West Bengal, serves as a stopover on the old Silk Route. During the monsoon season, temporary bamboo bridges over the Rishi Khola river are often washed away by heavy rainfall, making travel risky due to slippery and muddy paths. Villagers sometimes cross the river on foot when water levels rise. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
