I always wanted to know about the culture and tradition of the mountain people of Sikkim and Darjeeling areas and to know about a culture, one must go though their mythology too. Reading this article I feel the stories of the Lepchas are more interesting than I thought and I would really like to read more such articles!

This is not only a folk tale but a clear message of our beloved nature to human world about its beauty and wrath when neglected by human beings.

But I also hard that there is a river which flows silently, no sound and carrying a message. which is related above this story passing/sending the messages to their love. Is it true la madam?

Very timeless and modern in that sense.
