Around 20 km from Rongli in East Sikkim is this new-found heaven for birdwatchers and solace seekers. Here in Rolep, you can try your angling skills to catch trout in the Shokey Khola River or get wet at the 45-foot-high Buddha waterfall. You can also take village walks, get closer to learning the skills of living in harmony with nature and try bird watching in the forests. Rolep is one of the most favorable destinations within the Silk Route circuit to embark on your high–altitude trip to Lungthung or Nathang. The lush greenery, the serene village life, and the gushing waterfall and rivers of Rolep would rejuvenate you on your silk Route trip.
Rolep River
The river is famous for trout fishing. You can try your angling skills here. Apart from fishing, you can also take a dip in the clear water of the Rolep river or you can spend some quality time resting on huge boulders.

Janha Bagcha Teesta Rangit

The Nepali language song “Jahan Bagcha Teesta Rangeet” was released on 4 April 1970 to mark the birthday of the then Chogyal Palen Thondup Namgyal. The song became very popular and was sometimes erroneously cited as the Sikkimese national anthem.[2] Following a referendum in 1975, Sikkim became a state of India and the monarchy was abolished. The song was initially prohibited by the Indian authorities as it contained a reference to the Sikkimese monarchy. It was later reinstated with slightly altered lyrics which replaced the words "Raja Rani" ("king and queen") with "Janmabhumi" ("motherland"). Nowadays, the song is used as the de facto state song for Sikkim, played at state government functions and social gatherings.

Janha bagcha Teesta rangit,
Jahan Khanchendzonga seer
Yehi ho hamro dhana ko desh,
Tapawan ho pyaro sikkim

Phulchan yeha aanganai maa,
Chaap, guras, sunakhari
Swargasari sundar desh ko
Hamro pyaro pyaro janmah bhumi

Janha bagcha Teesta rangit,
Jahan Khanchendzonga seer

Batashle bokchaa yaha,
Tathagat ko aamar waani shradha,
Bhakti garchau sadha,
Yehi matokaa phool rahau hami.

Janha bagcha Teesta rangit,
Jahan Khanchendzonga seer

Buddham saranam gacchami,
Dharmam saranam gacchami,
Sangam saranam gacchami.
