The way to Kungra Fort

The 25km journey takes us 2.5 hours. When we reach the fort we decide that it must have indeed been very secure especially if the invaders were traveling via auto-rickshaw.

Julia and I count this outing as a success because we have managed, for the first time since our arrival, to "doop" India. Yes, that's right we sent our Hindi speaking Tibetan friends, Jamyang and Ricden, to negotiate the price of the rickshaw. When we walked around the corner the driver tried to double the price, but we had him tricked--1 point for the foreign ladies.

at this point we both exclaim

"TII!" meaning: this is India. pronounced TEA!
