Details
The homestay, we named ‘Valley of Flowers’
The scenic beauty & the alluring wilderness of Rishyap was the driving force behind the creation of ‘Valley of Flowers’ where ‘Bharmonik’ aspires to give you a refreshing holiday experience to relax, rejuvenate & explore the culture, cuisine & traditions of this region.
Speeding across Teesta river valley & beautiful Tea gardens, when you finally enter Rishyap in the domain of clouds & lofty pines, you must admit there’s an element of mystery & magic in the air. The cool clouds streaming down the hills guarded by the Mighty Enchantress-the Kanchenjunga, the lush green forests where pines, birchs & maples compete to reach out to the sky and thousands of birds conjure up a sweet melody, the vast stretch of mountains rising from the ‘Valley of Flowers’ secretly summons you. Walk through the garden of the Valley to meet the fuschias, lilies & orchids dotting the garden put-up a riot of colours, the apple, peach & pear orchards are just a stone's throw away. Come across the stony paths to meet the local people...to rediscover simplicity.
