Rishop, also spelt Rishyap, is a Himalayan hamlet in West Bengal. At 2591 m above sea level, it's a nice quaint village away from city crowds, with picturesque views of snow-capped mountains. The sun plays vermillion through the day. At night the big sky seems to come closer. Beneath the sky the twinkling lights of Gangtok & Pedong are similar to the twinkling stars above. Tourists are attracted by the natural beauty of Neora Valley National Park (Sikkim) & Tiffindara. Both are enjoyed through trekking route which is a deep silent forest of pine, birch, fir & orchids with some soothing path following the chirps.

The nearest jeep/ bus stand is Lava. Rishop is just 4 km uphill from Lava. The road however is rough and not paved, so trekking is the better option.Lava is 2.5 hours from Siliguri (nearest major city) by road.
