Note 18 — Chapter I · JOURNEY FROM DARJILING TO TASHILHUNPO.
Reading edition
A mile further on we came to the village of Ringbi,18 situated in a beautiful plain, behind which rose cragged rocks; to the north and east the Ringbi river roared far down below us. The wild plantain, a gigantic rattan, and numerous pines and oaks covered the hills on the other side of the torrent. There are here a half-dozen houses inhabited by Limbus, who raise rice, Indian corn, murwa, and other varieties of millet.
