Description
It’s a remote spot where nature is free to play because it’s its home. Because of its distinct flavour, Riverside camping receives a lot of attention from tourists. Camping on the bank of a river at a height of 2000 feet above sea level is equivalent to daydreaming for many devoted travellers. “Khola” is a Nepalese word that refers to a little stream. The river has improved and is now known as Reshi. Reshikhola is a river that divides the states of Sikkim and West Bengal on a topological level, hence it has geographic significance. Mountains and a large lush green Himalayan forest zone border the river.
