The amazing thing about being up in the hills is the mix of Tibetan, Nepali, Bhutanese and West Bengali all together. The hills are home to many Tibetan monasteries, so it was a real treat to visit some and have the opportunity to be there when they were having afternoon chants.
Some of the younger monks wandered into the temple with mugs of tea, but were soon chanting along with the sound of the conch and the youngest monk given the task of beating the drum to keep his concentration. These are the magical experiences that travelling offers.
