Day-Trip to Happy Valley!

Last Saturday was a GREAT day. A group of us wanted to go on a hike...and a bunch of us hadn't been to Happy Valley...so off we went! Happy Valley is a Tibetan Refugee Settlement. Since almost all the people that live there are first or second generation Tibetan Refugees, the cultural feel is really different than the rest of Mussoorie. We rode in bicycle rickshaws, visited some art studios, went to a Buddhist Temple, ate buffalo momos, and rode a man-powered ferris wheel. A great day with great people!
