Dzongu local Sightseeing 

Go for village walks,

You can walk through the villages of Passingdang, Tingvong, Sakyong, Lingdong and explore the traditional way of the Lepcha life. Each village has its own speciality.\\

 

Lingthem village

You can trek from Passingdang to Lingthem through the secluded bamboo groves. The village is located in the heart of a forest and has a beautiful monastery. If you visit Lingthem during December at the time of Namsoong Festival, you can see the masked dance here. It is quite similar to the Kagyed Dance that we saw in Phodong.

 

Hee Gyathang Village

This is a beautiful village and can be reached by jeep from Passingdang. There is a small lake in Hee Gyathang surrounded by prayer flags. There is an interesting anecdote around this lake. The local villagers believe that the lake was formed by the tears of a goddess who had fell in love with another celestial being. The Heemos clan believe if the fishes die, then their clan too will perish. Thus they guard these fishes with care. Just see, how beautifully the Lepchas share a strong bond with nature. We had seen such close bonding between men and nature among the Khasis in Meghalaya and the Galo tribe in Arunachal Pradesh.
