Sikkim, Gangtok Monastery, 1984
Sikkim, Gangtok Monastery, 1984 - To travel legally to Sikkim in 1984 required a permit from Darjeeling, and to travel to Darjeeling required a permit from Delhi. I obtained both. India had recently taken over Sikkim, formerly an independent country. Propaganda slogans were written on the walls of the road leading to Sikkim, such as one that stated, "Sikkim is the Jewel in the Crown of India."
