Buddha, our hotel manager in Gangtok, had called a friend of his to reserve a room for us. we were ever so grateful. we settled in and went up to the roof for lunch. after being told they had no momo's and finding that their version of "Tibetan Bread" was just chapati made in Sikkim we mourned Kalden's (our favorite place for momo's and real tibetan bread) closure feri eckh palta*.
Still, it's quiet and rainy and simply relaxing. it makes me giddy to think about walking through some forest tomorrow. yes, i realize i'm a nerd. but really this is just perfect and exactly what i was needing and hoping for.
ah, i should mention we tried tongba tonight. i liked it and probably a bit more than i should. ha!

Take pictures of the forest? I love that you have learned some Nepali!
ReplyDeleteWhat is tongba made of?
Tongba is made by pouring hot water over fermented millet seeds.
