Ravioli with pumpkin in cheese sauce

Carrot cake ... and cinnamon. So debauched uraczyłem lunch yesterday in Makleodzie.

It was a digression on the nutrition a good start. And now it is time to settle the matter Gangtoku. In this section I shall therefore briefly and without details of the rest of the attractions of the capital of Sikkim, and I shall Kalimpongiem.

So this is the abbreviation of events other than those already obsmarowane. 1) Monastery Encze (according to the English spelling of 'Enchey'). That falls on Gangtokiem, so there must either take a taxi, which is obviously not an option either for a second, or lubricate the legs, and it takes an hour to two, depending on the chosen path. These roads are probably armfuls, but I known there were two, actually one, because I was shown a second while climbing. Demonstration has two local boys, who initially wanted to save it to scratch up the hill, but then surrendered. However, it surrendered, appeared to me very useful shortcut, by which I arrived at the convent as well ścieżynkami having little in common with the highway. The monastery was built in 1840 by "flying" lama, and then, in 1908, has renovated the then Chogyal Sikkim.

2) Ganesha Tok. This is a small Hindu temple of which is still higher than the monastery and to get there, you need to climb by at least a further thirty minutes. It also reached in a convoluted manner, the thicket, and trawska barely wyklepane road, and then by the local village. Last only a very short lived asfaltówką stage, where I met a bunch of zapitych for good representatives of the local young people, ethnically Tibetan. Ganesha Tok, except that it is a temple, is primarily a fabulous vantage point from which you can admire the panorama Gangtoku and its wzgórzasto-forested area.

3) exactly opposite the point number two is point number three, namely Himalayan Zoological Park. Ticket cost ten rupees. You can enter him again, boxes and the same way in the park to move, but you can also use your feet. The place is, to put it mildly, was a large and successful conclusion górującego over Gangtokiem wooded hills. Park that is really handsome jungle, dominated by bamboo. Its a good asphalt road leads from which it must be odnażać to see the accumulation of fauna there. Fauna of words and often not at all willing to show up. So bear the insult and hid, as did the Tibetan wolf and snow leopard. For this very willingly presented free the animal, which in English is called 'civet', and Poland, and I have no idea since these events always forget to check. I had to do before writing this section and also forgot. I will do so after the fact, and may in the next fetus will make a digression and a backward Translate. In any case, the animal is a cross between the word otter, marten, badger and similar futrzaków. The nature is probably very curious, because it happened at the same grid and the passing gapiło persona in no less degree than they do not. Was busy at the same time too, so it was not a good model for shooting. Then joined into one copy of two more and the whole family stood up and stared. But the red pandas showed mostly ass, and leopard (not snow, but ordinary) pretended to be indifferent to any ochów and achów, which to him were sent. Either lying, or he walked, or did a toilet, or demonstrated substantial orange nucleus. Besides all the usual household miauczał as tomcat. On one of the information boards were also mentioned how, but maybe if only for commercial purposes, anywhere in fact live copy must not be seen. Gangtoku I returned to the course on foot, but this time the main road and then completely underestimated the value of the shortcut.

4) Another point worth a visitation Tybetologii Institute, located in the lower part Gangtoku. Shrine in Tibetan style and contains a particular museum. That is to say, this is of course research center, but nothing like someone just does not investigate and investigates, then it must be enough of the museum. Museums generally do not suffer, and I avoid them as I can, but there I climbed. Wlazłszy met a few New Zealand, whom I met in the restaurant the Modern New Central Lodge. Although not living in that place, but at the table happy. Were one of many examples of the expansion of tourism in India Antipodes. But back to the museum: it contains a significant number of very old script of Chinese, Tibetan, and other lepczyjskich, among other things, was issued an old Chinese version of the sutras in the form of heart leciwego manuscript. There were also numerous sculptures and thangki, a Tibetan paintings, including among others eight Medicine Buddhas and the Twelve Deeds of Buddha - the descent of the womb to mahaparinirwany. Interesting as the religious and historical, and represented a shovel and a hammer. And maybe it was a chisel, I do not remember. He used these tools was the fourteenth Dalai Lama at the beginning of 1957, when he kicked (put? Bet? - What is done with the cornerstone?) Cornerstone for the future institute. Interesting fact is all the more intriguing word that the event played out before going to the Dalai Lama into exile. In 1956 he came to India to celebrate the Buddha Jayanti. Returning to Tibet to Sikkim zawadził and there made the act which the certificates are to showcase the institute, which in itself is testimony of that act. Just before leaving Dharamsala, in September, I saw a story about deaf and then travel the Dalai Lama and his contemporary, showing a visit to Gangtoku. The institute also visited a small księgarenkę, where I bought tybetologiczny newsletter devoted to Tibetan medicine, and I looked briefly on the first floor accommodates the library.

5) Near the institute is Duddul stupa. It was built in 1946, to this place wykurzyć haunting demons. Next there is a Sikkimese Nyingma Institute for Advanced Studies. It also zalazłem.

And that's probably all the attractions. Gangtoku wanted to return to the upper cable car, but it was just lunch and Gizmo off.

One day during my stay in Sikkim, at the local stadium also played a football match between Orissa and West Bengal. He contented himself with watching the events from a distance in the quiet Thai restaurant.

Gangtoku stay sealed in the acquisition was a ticket on the train from New Jalpaiguri to Patna, the capital of Biharu. I could not buy a place on 16 October as originally planned, so I bought a ticket on the seventeenth. Thanks Gangtoku stayed in for another day, of which I was extremely pleased. I could spend one more night on the promenade of the Emerald city, which after nightfall becomes magical qualities.

Sikkim Jeep leaving again on 15 October morning. The next target was the Kalimpong. But I see that this city has in this episode is not napocznę.

Enrolled myself that I check the 'civet'. So soon will be Polish.
