Domkho is a scenic village nestled in a valley. It is about 57 kms from Kalaktang. It is one of the tri- Monpa village.
We had an office training for the village women Self Help Group here and I had a nice chance to take some photos from the village...

I love this scene... It was outside the training hall. Few women were cooking for us... A lady was attending someone else's child and kids were running about... The dog and me just observed everyone...

Milk and Khabje offred again in a lady's house... Milk is an essential part this side. People rear cows for milk and meat but mostly for the former as they make cheese known as Churpi out of it and it is their stable food.
Sichuan pepper... Sichuan is also used in their cuisine a lot for making side dishes... It was my first time to see the Sichuan pepper...
Abandoned Govt. construction...
