Mountains in Sikkim - 1

Mountains in Sikkim - 1 This was a day when the visibility was low, it was foggy and all grey. We were on our way to Nathula from Gangtok and the views of the Himalayan mountains and valleys were truly spectacular, despite the grey tones.  ( Sikkim , 2017 )

Young monks at Rumtek monastery reading the notice board

Young monks at Rumtek monastery reading the notice board There must have been some important notice put up at this monastery which made these young monks spend significant time reading and discussing it. The youngest, who was too short to look at the notice board, was trying to find out from others as to what their discussion was all about.  ( Rumtek monastery near Gangtok , 2017)

Mountain roads in Sikkim

Mountain roads in Sikkim As we were heading to Nathula from Gangtok , the views of the mountain roads in Sikkim were spectacular. Several army establishments dotted the landscape alongside the winding roads. Many of these roads are maintained by  Border Roads Organisation , known for their indomitable spirit.  (Sikkim, 2017)
