We leave Mongar and head uphill again over the Korila pass 3000 mtrs, then wind down into a warmer valley which has lots of soft turns called Yadi Loops through beautiful pine trees. Only a short ride today of 80 kms before we reach our destination, the Druk-Deojung Hotel, Tashigang.After lunch we visit the local monastery and village, on the way we pass a local archery competition, which I watched for some time.
The local staple food is rice (with the local variety being red rice), potatoes, and chillies which are served as a vegetable with every meal and are hot. Most of the meals are quite tasty, but do not have the spices which are used in Indian food, flavour is added by using the chillies. Although the locals serve an eat meat, because of the Buddhist beliefs, they are mostly vegetarian dishes.
