We had fallen in love with Gangtey the moment we set foot there. This is the only way we can perhaps, logically summarise, nay, explain our complete craziness for the quaint little village. Why?

And was still drizzling outside. Quite cold, the fire too had died off during the night. Jayant quickly lit the fireplace while we brushed and showered and got ready. Come rain, come sun, we are going out for a morning walk!

And thus braving the ominous clouds and the resulting chill, we headed out.
