What a service they provided! Their physical prowess and their ability and willingness to solve the practical difficulties of their environment were legendary. i wrote a book about them and I am always thrilled to discover other people who recognize these people and their stories. The stories so deserve to be told! Thank you for helping to tell their tale.

Nevertheless, an important identity of Sikkim is well mapped here. I hope the tradition and culture survives.
