Hakuna Matata is situated just near to Rishi river in Rishikhola,Sikkim. You can enjoy your days by Seeing the view of the river and the floating sound of water from the room. Fooding is ok.

I stayed here for a very short time .....but I really recommend this place because of its location, views and the mind soothing sound of the Reshi river. Otherwise food service and quality is good. You can definitely try this place once .

I visited this year in November. Location wise, good, but food quality was very low. Taste was so bad. You have to wait for morning tea till 9.30 a.m to 10 a.m. porter charges are very high
