At another point, presumably
the "fill-in" for the missing

difficulties with Dean Martin.
The routine found him heckling

Joined the family before din

were hung with Tibetan
monastery paintings.
The next morning we drove
on to Gangtok. Again down
to the jungle valleys along
the banks of the lovely Tista
River we went, to the Six
kimese border, where we had
to show our special permits to
enter. We had to sign a state
ment that we would not try
to enter Tibet. Once in Six
kim, we began to climb again
and came upon the first
heavy cultivation of the ter
raced slopes. Along the road
we often passed huge thatch-
covered wagons drawn by
pairs of Flooding humpbacked
oxen. AS we reached Gang

junga again doomed into view

over the distant ridge. closer
than ever.
Gangtok is smaller than
Kalimpong. but it has the
same pulSating bazaars
damned with all sorts of
people, chiefly Tibetans.
We finally climbed to the
crest above the town. where
are located the palace of the
Maharajah of Sikkim and
the Tibetan monastery. The
gates were guarded by Won
derful characters in bright
red uniforms and peaked
hats. with long thick braids
down their backs.

Again we heard the tin
king of bells, and watched
a long train of pack mules
being led by the indomitable
muleteer up the road along
side our hill towards the
high mountain above. over
which we could see the mar
row trail leading UP to the
high passes into Tibet.
We had reached the
farthest possible limit of our
expedition. but how thrilling

it would be to follow on mule
back to that forbidden world
on the other side! How ex-
citing to think that still in
this day and age, when the
newspapers are full of new
scientific plans for leaving
this planet. there remains a
country on this earth which
still keeps its mysteries to
itself and is a constant slim
illus to the adventurous who
hope to some day penetrate
its borders.

Expeditions
If the visitor feels adven-
turous. it is possible to or
ganize a real mountain expe-
dition to trek or ride along
the high route following the
Nepalese Indian border,
which is the Sikkim range.
Along the route are Oak
bungalows where you can
spend the night, You engage
a Sherpa who, acting as sir
dar, hires the cook. porters
and pack animals. and ar
ranges for the food. You can
go out for any length of
time. but the usual trip is a
three-day trek to Sandak-
phau, a ridge of 10000 feet.
from which point the early
sunrise falls on the Everest
group of mountains about go
miles away, bringing them
very close. But even more
panoramic is Kangchen-
junga. only 20 miles away.
which really does loom Just
above you. For a short time
you must experience the
same thrill enjoyed by a real
climber when he has finally
reached the high mountains.
5000 Feet High
Leaving Darjeeling one
morning with the peak of
Kangchenjunga hanging in
the sky above drifting white
clouds, we headed across the
ridge at 5000 feet and then
suddenly descended 1000
feet through tea plantations
to the tropical valley below.
At one point the road became
a spiral ramp because of the
steepness of the mountain.
We eventually climbed back
to a 4,000-foot ridge where
Kalimpong is situated. Ka-
limpong is the melting pot
for many Central Asian peo-
pies. We saw some Indians,
many running tailor shops.
But most of the people are
from the hill tribes, small to
middle in size, with definite
Mongoloid features.
Oversize Tibetan
We drove past the bazaars
as far as the road went be-
fore it changed into the trail
leading to Tibet. Looking
down the steep mountainside
1 saw a lovely Tibetan mon
astery set in the midst Of
pine trees and white prayer
flags. I had stopped to take
pictures when heard the
tinkling of bells and turned
to look. A stream of pack
mules, each with a bell under
its neck, was coming down
the road, and right behind
me, staring, stood the most
fascinating character I've
ever seen-a Tibetan mule
teer. tall, well over 6 feet.
with large-brimmed felt hat
cooked at a jaunty angle over
his heavily braided hair, huge
gold and turquoise earrings
hanging from both ears. the
typical wrap-around quilted
tunic with dagger stuck
through the belt, and nigh
soft yak leather boots with a
colored design UP the back.
He slowly stuck his tongue
out at me. which I happily
remembered was the Tibetan
greeting. I was extremely
nervous, not from fear Of
this roguish looking fellow.
but from fear that I wouldn't
get a good photograph Of
him. We were told later that
these diversified Tibetans are
from eastern Tibet, and that
they usually become mule
teers or one of the many
bandits who prey on travellers
in Tibet.

manufactured goods of the
outside world. The unloaded
mules were left to Craze over
the hillsides while the mule
teers went to town for a spree
before packing up for the
long trip back. We heard
they love American wild
west movies, which are
shown occasionally in Kalim-
pong.

Wild, Primitive

Kalimpong is also a hill
station. Bhutan. the neigh
boring Indian state, must be
so Wild and primitive (no
passes are given for entry
and there are no roads, only
trails that the Bhutanese
Maharaja has his palace in
Kalimpong. Many upper class
Tibetan families are living
here in exile. Our hotel was
