At 8000 feet above sea level, the world seems different. The air is cleaner, the atmosphere, more rejuvenating, and if you are a city dweller, you'll find yourself in a place so slow paced, you'll want to breathe in every bit of the experience. Rishyap can be reached via a short 4-kilometre trek from Lava in the north of West Bengal and the trip there is worth the experience that follows.
