Sevoke Havoc !

Sevoke is situated at the foothills of the mighty Himalayas alongside National Highway no. 31.

The place is also a must stop for tourists visiting Sikkim, Kalimpong, and the Dooars region. This picture is of the Nandi river just before it flows into the mighty Teesta.

Although many Indians today wear Western clothing like jeans & tshirts, there are still some that wear more traditional garb. These guys are snakecharmers. There are live cobras inside the hessian bags.
