A small village close to Gangtok, very nice place, strong Tibetan solemn religious feel. Was glad to be invited by a monk visiting his accommodation. Surprised to see Bollywood stars posters sticking on the wall and their collection of pop music. – teenagers common interest, I reckoned. We collected wrong info and missed the last taxi back to Gangtok. Managed to get one after a few km walk, luckily.
