Note 4 — Chapter I · JOURNEY FROM DARJILING TO TASHILHUNPO.
Reading edition
After ascending several hills by steep paths, we came to the top of a ridge marked by a mendong and a chorten,4 and from whence a picturesque view of the valley of Dhuramdien, dotted with numerous houses, and of the surrounding country is obtained. This spot is called Mani-dara by the Pahirias, and Chorten-gang by the Bhutias, both names meaning “the ridge of the sacred stupa.” Here we halted by the side of a rill, and purchased two bottles of murwa beer5 and vegetables from some Limbus.
