Day 16: Back to Guwahati

Print This Post December 20, 2020 by Sauvik Biswas Leave a Comment

Due to an oversight by my Hotel’s manager, I had no reservation to Guwahati. He was unable to contact any of the drivers last night. Like most people in the hills, they had gone off to sleep early. I woke the Hotel’s manager up at 5:00 am in the morning and walked towards the Sumo … [Read more…]

Dawa came to see me off for one last time in the morning. It was unusual of him to wake up that early. We both had our morning tea with Sangi Thema before bidding them goodbye. Bomdila is situated at a higher altitude than Dirang. Our Sumo snaked its way up through the switchbacks and … [Read more…]

In the next two days, Dawa took me to three villages—Chug, Sangti and Thembang. Chug and Sangti Dawa wanted to show me Chug. It’s slightly inwards from Rama Camp and is famous among Dirang locals for its picnic spots. He had not been there before and had only seen images shared by his friends. When … [Read more…]

Dawa slept till 10:00 am. I should have asked him about his bed timings last night itself. When I called him early in the morning, he didn’t pick his phone up. Since I was already outside, I had my morning tea and paratha for breakfast at the market. Once I was done, I walked from … [Read more…]

That morning I was contacted by the Sumo driver. Although Sumos from Tawang to Bomdila usually left at 6:30 am, the one in which I had booked a seat was delayed due to the cold. He asked me to wait in front of Laxmi Hotel at Jang. The Sumo would anyways stop for breakfast there. … [Read more…]

Day 9: Jang

Jang is mostly known for its military check-post and Nuranang Falls. I had already paid a visit to the former where I had to do my COVID-19 test a week ago. This time I wanted to visit the latter. Nuranang Falls After having puri and tea for my breakfast at Laxmi Hotel nearby, I descended … [Read more…]

Day 7-8: More Gompas in Tawang

For the next one-and-a-half days I walked around Tawang and visited a number of places while spending time with the kids at my hotel. I was not able to notice the Gompa that one spots in the Old Market the day I had arrived. It was too dark to notice anything. It is one of … [Read more…]

Day 6: Hitchhiking a trip to Bumla

I woke up quite early that day to catch a glimpse of the morning sun. Akash and the other kids were awake, too. I shared the morning tea with them. Amit, Lobsang and a neighbouring kid Ranveer—being kids that they were—headed to the terrace and played in a greenhouse made of bamboo and translucent plastic. … [Read more…]

Day 5: Urgeling Monastery and Manjushree Vidyapith

The three markets in Tawang are closed on three different days—Old Market on Tuesday, Nehru Market on Wednesday, and New Market on Thursday. Most eateries remain open all throughout the week—especially those serving breakfast. Most of these breakfast joints either serve puri or paratha for breakfast and are geared towards the working class. Aesthetically, they … [Read more…]

Day 3–4: Tawang

Print This Post December 8, 2020 by Sauvik Biswas Leave a Comment

Journey from Tezpur to Tawang During this pandemic, the authorities are not allowing more than five passengers in a shared Sumo. However, none of the operators care about that rule in spite of charging nearly double the usual price for a trip. One of the reasons is that they are not able to get enough … [Read more…]
