Well, I made it to all 4 districts of Sikkim - creatively named North, South, East and West - all of it via bumpy roads in cramped vehicles. Travelling eh!
The town is surrounded by forests, and the whole area is less touristy than Gangtok, which is exactly why I came here! Not a view in sight though, as the rain has settled, and thick fog when its dry.
(The site of the former capital of Sikkim- and the view of the mountains)
Which is a shame, as its main attraction is the view it has over the mountains. Oh well, at least the monastery was great, with fantastic paintings, and parts from even older incarnations of the complex.
Had a lovely cup of organic tea at a local co-operative, although their apple pie had mold on it, but they were nice enough to give a refund on that!
(Peace and quiet - Buddhist prayer flags)
