 Best
known for its tea, rhododendrons, good fighters, and
the massive bulk of Kanchenjunga that looms over it,
east Nepal is rather different from the rest of the
country. It is in general more prosperous, fresher,
cleaner and greener than the west of the country. In
the shadow of the world's third-largest mountain lives
a typically Nepali mix of people - Chhetri, Bahun,
Gurung, Newar, Sherpa; there are all ethnicities here,
but the indigenous Rai and Limbu people have distinct
ways, clothing, appearance, language, food and drink.
In the higher reaches of the Kanchenjunga region, like
in all high-altitude settlements in Nepal, the
prevailing culture is heavily Tibetan-influenced, and
usually Buddhist. A trek around this enormous mountain
is a chance to experience a wide range of people,
flora, and fauna. One of the least visited of all
major mountain areas of Nepal, the Kanchenjunga region
offers an interesting comparison between low- and
midland and the highland. The Limbu and Rai villages
below the snow line are fascinating. Men from these
communities have been one of the four ethnic groups
recruited into the British and Indian armies. Many
people believe that the exposure and cosmopolitanism
this resulted in, combined with the proximity of east
Nepal to the Indian educational centres of Darjeeling
and Kalimpong, accounts for the progress, development
and prosperity here. Limbus have special ways of
weaving, distinctive jewellery, shamans, and a
wonderful drink called tongba - fermented millet
doused in hot water served in a covered metal
container and sipped through an iron straw. Keep
refilling you glass with hot water, and the fifth
infusion will probably be the most potent.
