My apartment is about an 8 minute walk to Thosamling Institute where the course is being held. Click here for a selection of the nicer parts of that walk (left out the dirt road, dodgy buildings and mangy, yet friendly dogs).
Apparently, the creek crossing will not be possible once the monsoon starts, so the journey will probably take twice as long via a bridge further downstream.
Thosamling is basically set within an area of fields on the edge of Sidhpur, the local village that is home to the Norbulingka, one of the main Tibetan cultural centres in the area. The Norbulingka is modelled on the Dalai Lama's summer palace in Lhasa and has artisans training and working on all types of Tibetan art and craft. Now I've got the photos firing, I'll do a walk through sometime and do a post on the Norbulingka. Its very beautiful.
