Machu Picchu of India – Hindu
“How many more days?” Taran asked, Huffing and uphill downhill.
“Look, it’s just 10 minutes left,” Mom smiled.
All boards along the trail encouraged them to continue. They were initially a bugot ticket at Bird Park in Peling, Sikkim. But, when they were across a board that ‘Rabbdentes’, they decided to explore. “It’s about a half-walk,” said the ticket counter lady. “It is worth it. This is called the machine of India.”
Taran was of interest. “Machu Pichu? In India? Come on…!
The trail of nature was enchanting with the Chestnat tree all around. “The wind is so crisp and clear,” Amma said forward.
“What’s in a hurry, slow. Let me take some pictures,” Appa joked.
After a walk of about two kilometers, they responded to the ruins of Rabdants. “It was the ancient capital of Sikkim Kingdom.” It was very close to Nepal and they continued to attack by Goa. Finally, the capital was shifted to Tumlang. These ruins are now left, ”said Appa busy reading on her phone.
“Look from your phone, Appa. View the View,” Taran Tejd.
“Wow, I think it’s the Kanchanjunga Mountains!
The family explained somewhat with the local guide. “Imagine it was a living capital in the 18th century. It was founded by Tensung Namgial, “he explained.” It was a royal residence. “What is left is the basis and these three corten or stupas. He took them to another section on the south side.” It was religious complex.
Taran listened carefully and commented. “I can see why the king chose this place as his capital. It is very pleasant and peaceful. Very bad neighboring states were felt the same way and the rabdent continued to attack and now it was destroyed.”
The guide smiled and lowered his head. Taran sat quietly by three parts. “I think the palace was destroyed in any war or was destroyed in the end. How many world did this world see? “
“This is a deep thought, Taran,” Apa said he laughed at him. “States and palaces can come and go, but the hills are steady; Witness of history. “
Taran breathed a sigh. “Unplanned travels are the best. We have come to look for Bird Park and discovered these ruins!”
“Oh yes!” Apa said “I almost forgot about it. Shall we go back then?”
“Not yet,” Taran said. “Let’s stay in Machu Picchu, India for a while.”
