This was a very exciting day… woke up early and then later went to the firing range where all the officers and their teams were practicing for a competition to be held in UK next year. I was taught finer details of firing a Light Machine Gun (LMG) and the Indian version of AK47 called INSAS 5.56 mm rifle. Some good learning & fun!!!
Later we went to Fhuntsoling, Bhutan, which is a border town near Binnaguri, West Bengal. Had Thupka in our lunch at Hotel Durk, and then went to a nearby Dumpa. On the way to Bhutan we had an excellent view of women plucking tea leaves.
The road from Binnaguri till Indo-Bhutan border was really bad, so bad that it was as good as not having any road at all. Good thing of reaching Bhutan was that India look really beautiful from there; anyway one can’t see roads from so far… J
