A
20 to 30 minutes walk from Chowrasta through leafy glades and tea
plantations, brings you down to the Tibetan Refugee Centre. Established
in 1959, the centre comprises a home for the aged, and orphanage,
school, hospital and craft workshops that produce carpets of pure
ladakhi wool, woodcarving, leather work and wool items. The weaving and
dyeing shops and the wood carving shop are particularly interesting. |
