It still feels like a dream, that just finished too fast! We just wished we were caught in a time loop while at Mayal Lyang Beautiful and tastefully made home, with cosy sit outs to soak into the mesmerising valley views, perennial sounds of the Rong yong river and numerous birds Gyatso and Samsay quickly made us to feel like we know each other for long! The greetings and conversations are real, meaningful and makes us to think and ponder! It won't take much time to understand the beliefs, passion and fire of Gyatso. Slowly we get to understand the beliefs and values of Lepchas. 'Nature worship' and Free-flowing of rivers strongly resonates with me. Being a family with 2 kids, Gyatso carefully planned activities for us to do and explore that everyone will enjoy. The picnic and lunch by the river bank will be etched in our memory forever. The walk around Lingthem exploring the simple lifestyle of people, their homes, their happy faces are still fresh in my eyes. Their home itself is a treasure for people to explore. We can see Samsay's taste for home decor shining in all corners of the home. Bird watchers and Photographers need not go anywhere else! Samsay is an avatar of Annapurna. Food from her tastes divine and importantly local. All the ingredients are from the home garden that is nurtured by her. Khuri, Mix veg sabzi including Squash leaves , Pork, Jalpaiguri jam, Momos, Chutneys, Pickles...I can just keep going on and on We visited Mayal Lyang towards the end of our long Sikkim trip. We really wished, we had cut short couple of days from Gangtok and spent the time at Dzongu instead. Or may be the best was saved for the last! I firmly believe any travel is incomplete without getting to know the people, history, culture, tradition and food of the locals. A must visit place for travellers
