India (December, 2016) –We drove several hours from Gangtok through the mountains; arriving at Ravongla to explore the Sikyamuni Buddha and marvel at the panoramic view of the Kanchenjunga. Bewildered at the size and splendour of the surroundings, we descended the meditative walk down through the garden below. The spectacular golden buddha and snow-capped peaks were more dramatic on our way out; enhanced by the blaze of orange and red hues, remnants from the setting-sun.
