Its been raining incessantly for the last 24 hrs.The new "farkey"(foot bridge) we built has been swept away by the river...guys are despirited at their lost labour. We had to make our guests who have come from Santiniketan walk from the Reshi Bridge. We are just praying for this out of season rain to stop as quickly as possible.

THE RESHI RIVER AND THE FOLDS OF HILLS THAT BELONG TO SIKKIM

LAST OF THE TRIBE: Some of the older structures. "The Reshi Retreat & Farmhouse" was started in 2004 with these Thatched roofed Bamboo cottages. A true wild jungle style...

The black Monsoon clouds have cleared. The skies have turned blue. The foilage still fresh and green... a bit of hangover after a long spell of rainy season. The river has decreased in volume, once again tame and friendly, enticing every one to plunge into it.Folks once again it's a time to visit "The Reshi Retreat & Farmhouse"... its a time to spoil yourself with the long jungle treks... its a time to sit around the camp fire and barbeque...its time to idly enjoy the bounties of nature...and give yourself a break from the monotony of life. So guys book with us immediately...and then its just fun.
