This is north Sikkim - Lachen. One of the first tributeries for Teesta flows through here. Somebody told me theres a book called something like A 100 PLACES TO VISIT BEFORE YOU DIE. I dont think Lachen features in this but I tell whoever has been here knows its just someplace else. The air is crisp. Most afternoons the wind whispers loudly. And the snow clad peaks glisten in the sun. How long will we see the snow with global warming. The last time I was there snow was sparse. Where earlier snowfall settled I noticed bare hills. Precipitation is increasingly rain which is washing down these very fragile mountains. "How many times can a man turn his head..."
