Things to Do Nearby

When the British were travelling in the region during the early 19th century, they came across Rikisum and immediately recognised its value. The hilltop not only provides excellent mountain views but also is a strategic location from which a large part of Sikkim can be observed. This is probably the reason that even the Bhutanese had shown interest in the place earlier. A British bungalow was constructed here in the 19th century, which survived till the 1980s when local agitators set the bungalow on fire. Today, remnants of the Bungalow are hardly visible except the bases of a few pillars. The area is heavily forested. But a short trek from your homestay can lead to the Rikisum Viewpoint. It remains a great spot for sunrise and sunset photography.
