Description of Chimongre village |
| text: |
To Chimongre, a Sangtam village of some 200 houses or less in three khels, all squalid filthy hovels of the typical Sangtam type, and very dull. The only features of the least interest are the drum sheds built like little Lhota morungs. |

We passed through Thungare on the way and changed coolies there, a feat which gave us a great deal of trouble, as there was a strong tendency to bolt. Thungare is about half a mile from Langsipek, another small Sangtam village, no doubt as squalid as Chimongre and Thungare. The path goes down from Chare to the Chingo stream; then up to the Thungare-Langsipek-Alisope ridge; thence down to the Chimei, a very steep almost precipitous descent, and after a similar ascent out of the gorge, a steep climb up to the next ridge. About 10 miles in all, but hard going. |
