Wonderful experience . The homestay is located with one of the best views in Rishop . The father and son team of Rajeebji and his son goes all out to ensure that guests are comfortable and having a relaxed time. Just a suggestion for travellers . As of now Airtel does not work in that area . Only Jio works . Also carry a binocular if possible . You would be able see different species of birds . Because of its height you also get to enjoy good weather but monsoon time is avoidable. Clear view of snow laden peaks from the rooms . Just go and enjoy.

রিশপের সব থেকে নিরিবিলি স্থান, এখানে পাহাড়ি গ্রামের যাবতীয় অনুভূতি পাবেন, সুন্দর কাঞ্চনজঙ্ঘা রেঞ্জ দেখা যায় ( অবশ্যই সঠিক সিজন এ) । সেইসঙ্গে ভালো আতিথেয়তা, ভালো পরিষেবা পাবেন।

Me and my friends stayed there for a 3day staycation in there premium cottage rooms. Rooms were spacious neat and clean and beautiful view from the balcony. Food was homely and even they served sometimes as per our choices. Stuffs were too helpful specially the little one Rajveer. They even arranged car for pickup and drop. Spent a wonderful time there. Wish to visit again and a must recommend

We had a lovely stay at this homestay. The surroundings are beautiful and full of flowers, making it feel very peaceful. The rooms were clean and cozy. The food quality was amazing. The host was very kind and helpful. There was a boy named Rajbir who guided us to explore nearby places on foot—we will truly miss him. It was a memorable experience for all of us. Would definitely love to visit again 🤗❣️

Like me, If you are prone to motion sickness or are driving a low-clearance vehicle, the final approach can be a bit daunting. It is essential to coordinate with the staff for directions or pickup, as GPS signals can be spotty. Once you arrive, the remoteness is bliss, but the journey there requires patience.Unlike typical hotels that keep you confined to your room, Sylvan Stay encourages you to explore. They offer guided treks through the surrounding hills and forests. For the adventurous, their camping option is a must-try. One of the highlights of the stay is the food. While the property offers standard Indian and Chinese fare, the recommendation is to dive into the local Nepali cuisines . The meals are homely, cooked with local ingredients, and packed with flavor.The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, often acting as guides and cooks. If you embrace the mountain pace and the rustic charm, Sylvan Stay will reward you with sunrises you will never forget.

Service is very good location was heavenly and room is well maintained but as we went in the off season it was a bit dirty... but overall it was really satisfying... A Homestay worth revisits..
Nilanjan Ghosh
It was an awesome experience to stay at that place. The cottage rooms are best to experience the serenity of hills as well as the jungle.
AVISEK DAS (Avi)
The day we visited there were no electricity. So no phone charging. No water in toilet No hot water. Food taste is very bad than other hotels. Only the place is somewhat good . If you visit with family and you have a small child visit safely as wooden stairs are not so strong. No kanchanjingha view.
