We set off following a murder case. The destination was a border town in India called Nagarkata, a name not too familiar.
We were asked to take the road from Jepti to get to our destination; we did not have a plan B in case we lost our way. The funny thing was only the car that we were driving had ever been to Jepti, neither of us had even heard about it.
We drove all the way to Sipsoo and no one knew where Jepti was.
We must have driven for about two hours, turning the car back and forth. I was losing patience and a bad mood was predicted to be headed towards my direction for sure.
Finally, something strikes our head after we gave up our search for Jepti, the word Jitti pops up out of nowhere.
Yes, the name was never Jepti, it was always Jitti.
Totally annoyed and pissed off at our memory capacity, we decide to give up on Jepti, I mean Jittu and head back to Samtse.
On our way back, to suppress our bad mood (as I had predicted) we visited the numerous bars on the way.
The first was one called Kafley Bar, as expected Druk 11,000, HIT Beer and Sophie topped the bar menu.
We went for a bottle of Druk 11,000 each.
Our next stop was at Lepcha Bar, the same menu again. Another bottle of Druk 11,000 each.
Tamang Bar after a few minutes’ drive kept us relaxed for a while. Still doubtful if I should go for another bottle or not, Chencho was all the more encouraging that I did. So, it was another bottle from Tamang Bar.
We were spending our nights at the Gurung Basti while in Samtse, so it became essential that we kept a look out for a Gurung Bar to cross our way. We had finished the Tamang Bar beer a while ago and soon enough Gurung Bar welcomed us.
By the time we reached the Ghaley Bar, we were too drunk to even get out of the car. Until we come back to Samtse, Ghaley Bar will have to wait for us to grace it with our presence.
We could not find Nagarkata but we surely did explore each and every bar along the Samtse-Sipsoo way.
