Dalley at the farmhouse

"Dalley" a variety of chilly found in Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Sikkim hills. It is round and red when ripe.  It is very very hot and at one go most can eat only about a quarter or half of it...for some...just the smell is sufficient.For this reason it is nicknamed  fireball. However there are some veterans...at least i know a lady who is addicted to it. she takes it so much that it is said her blood has become hot and recently the doctor said that it is not fit for donation.Next time you visit hills do try some of it....it's definitely going to be a lifetime experience.Dalley and churpi(cheese) ko achar with hot momos is what we recommend...

Phaley for U...

Breakfast at The Reshi Farmhouse. "Husel phaley with matar ko Chola". The phaley is made of maida and atta. The dough has to be prepared a day earlier with a pinch of yeast and salt to taste. You may add a little bit of sugar. Roll and then fry like puri...it's better to eat hot.

the heaven and the earth

a typical monsoon scene from Reshi. The tip of  the hills around "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse" covered with fog creates an illusion of land rising up to touch the sky. The recent rains have swept away our "Farkey".

If you want to visit the farmhouse, its going to be a light trek of a quarter of a kilometer from the Reshi bridge that connects West Bengal with Sikkim.

cold eve and hot soup!!!

Today was a cold day. With lot of fog and chill air around us, we at Reshi kept ourselves around our very own "mato ko chula" enjoying hot soup. Seems it's going to be early to bed to night. So guys may be Laila is a blessing for Reshi and we are enjoying it.

get informed...enjoy better.

It's such a wonderful time to visit the hills when it is +40 degrees in the plains. however dear guests we with great regret and much sadness would like to advise you to kindly get informed before you visit us. for local news you can as well log in to : www.kalimpongonlinenews.blogspot.com  

Early rains!!!

This is not a season for prolonged rains.Is it that the rain gods have comletely missed their timings.What ever might be the reason, these early rains have certainly changed the colour of "our piece of world". Reshi looks green and fresh... fields look lively  with new plants sprouting from the barren winter ground and the wet smell of earth  spread a peculiar fragrance to entice every one.  It is once again nature calling for a brand new experience.
