Blind Impulse

“It all started a month ago. It was a usual day. We were in , drinking coffee with some fries and looking towards the opposite hill from where we were seated. A spark of wanderlust came in my mind and so we started to place our views on the table. I remember and talking about Rishyap and that became the first place we planned to hitchhike.
How many times have you had the urge to just pack your bags and travel? Well, we were hit by the same notion. Sometimes, all we need is a little nudge or a push to take the leap.”

We hitch-hiked to Rishyap on the second day of August, 2021 and returned the following day.
Rishyap is a village in the Kalimpong II CD block in the Kalimpong subdivision of the Kalimpong district in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Rishyap is also spelt as Rishop. Rishyap was developed as a tourist destination recently in 1998. There are many myths and legends associated with the name Rishyap - Ri stands for mountain peak (some say it is lofty) and shop means age-old trees in Tibetan. Rishyap is located at 27.03N & 88.18E. It has an average elevation of 2591 meters (8500 feet).
