Denise and I had a nice spacious yurt at Yangsum Heritage Farm. Liz and Mike were in an older bungalow decorated with old furnishings and a lookout tower, and Dick and Neil were in a room of a bunkhouse with a verandah. There were also rooms in the older house and above the common room where we ate. Another smaller yurt was being built near ours, and the kitchen was another separate building. From here we could walk down to the school below and up the hill through the farm.
in the morning we headed out for a long walk to a Lepcha village, through forests and past agricultural farms.

 In the evening we were served millet beer. We were joined by 4 people from South Africa who were good company - a man who farmed wildlife and his sister and two nieces who live in New York and London, but travel together. We also learned to make momos.
