Some more photos from Hee-Bermiok, West Sikkim


Not even in the Amazon had I seen so much papaya on one plant


View over the valley


Millet: no fermenting allowed at the Brahman's house though one nearby Limbu house is preparing hundreds of litres for a wedding. Here at JD's they grind it and make flat-cakes.

i "chanced" on your blog because i have subscribed to "sikkim" & "lepchas" google alerts.
its the place and people that hold special significance for me and it was fun going through the pictures...
and its exciting that you are doing your PhD fieldwork where i plan on doing mine...
