A dream trip to Dzongu – the unexplored land of the Lepchas in North Sikkim

This should solve many questions many of us have regarding Dzongu! Thanks a bunch for the detailed write up, Amit. It was a great read!

Let me pitch in for the sake of making it comprehendible to others. What Biswajit wrote (an appreciation of the write up by Amit) roughly translates to (please pardon my translation skills, I am a disaster when it comes to translating):

"I can't keep my sanity after reading your write-up. Please help me when I make a plan to go there. The pics are lovely, and the write-up is worth repeated reading. Wonderful job"

Amit da.. I don't have words to describe your Write -up. Surely It will be my next tour after Lepchajagat.

Hi Amit, I'm out of words....Such a wonderful travelogue, I must read it again several times. I'm so much excited to go there. Picasa doesn't open here in my office network. Can't wait to see the photos after I reach home today

Same problem here

Hi Amit,

at last you have unfolded another dream destination, very difficult to wait long for planning such a trip, i believe we shdnt plan the same in wet weather!

what about the ravangla trip?

You seemed to be unhappy with Dzongu alone....Are you planning to make Sikkim your home ????? otherwise how can you digest both Dzongu and Rabangla at a single go !!!!!! One by one madam.... I need to keep my job also.....

A joke by one of my prof: "How many Rasgulla's can you eat in an empty stomach??? everybody replied 5, 10 or even more... Prof replied I said empty stomach... Does it remain empty if you have already eaten one !!!!!!

So First go to Dzongu in the OCt-NOv time....

Then ask me questions about Ravangla I will answer all your queries....

just kidding....

Oh my God... what a big reply!!!! I wrote such a big travelogue and you comment only in a single line.... This is not fair.... I want detailed comment on each photo as well as about the story.... Its my demand cutie... I hope I can demand that much friend

Thanks Sagar for your words of appreciation... You had inspired me to write such travelogues... Its because of your " Off beat destinations" you deserve a standing applause...

You should not only read.. you must go there man....

Also please comment in detail

hu!!, amit, seems you are quite enjoying the appreciations !

actually i was trying to club borong with ravangla next time...thats why asked for the ravangla travelogue!

If I have inspired you to write these wonderful travelogues, then all I would say is that I am glad! 'Off beat destinations in Sikkim' was started by me, I do agree, but what is thread is today is only because of the contribution of all IMers, so I would join you in standing up and applauding all our efforts, not mine alone.

And yes, I do agree, I must go there, and I am planning a trip in November. Let's see how things unfold.

Since I can't access Picassa from work, I will have to wait until I return home. However, I feel that no comment is enough for the write-up, I guess I will have hunt for new adjectives in Webster!

Thanks indra..... please go before its get publicised... Come back and write more about the place.... I have only touched the tip of the iceberg....


Hi Deep, I will really feel great if I can help anyone of IM friend to make a trip to Dzongu...Its only you guys who had constantly insisted for the travelogue ....otherwise it would also have been some untold story....cheers

Really??? I haven't seen that show .... but Roll house is really fabulous... All the rolls gets finished within 2hrs...not only the tourists, the locals are queing to take a grab... Also try "Hot stuff" restaurant.. thats very cozy... but the foods are really tasty...

Sagar,
You really did an wonderful job.....Thats perfect....
Have you seen the movie " Lost in Translation" ???

Yes I have . A wonderful movie on some very sensitive issues. Had 'Lord of the rings: The return of kings' not released that year (2003), it was a definite candidate for the Academy Award for the best movie.

Its a great feeling, btw, to know that my translation was appreciated

Don't worry Tanushree.... when are you planning to go Ravangla and Borong???? Just let me know.. I will give you all the detail info-s...promise...I have all the infos written in a piece of paper.. I will scan that one and send it to you....But believe me writing a travelogue with such details is really a big job....

I haven't been to Borong but one of my friend had just returned from the Borong Ravangla trip this tuesday...but they couldn't see any peaks ... though enjoyed the beauty of Borong in rain...very much

have you seen my Ravangla photos?
