The river that flows silently is gangeet as after they got back together and decide to flow downstream rongnyu still with burden of the tragedy hides from the world and flows below rangeet.and also a addition to the lore rongnyu chooses the guide first as he is a male and he feels proud about choosing a bird as they fly. And because of that pride being shattered he decided to return bac. Like this only there are many versions passes down by people to people so dont go judging and say one is wrong and the other right

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.
