Junction tea and momo stop
A deliberate stop at the junction: milk tea, a plate of momos and a look at the traffic on the way to Rongli, Rhenock or Pakyong.
Rorathang's tea stalls serve drivers, factory workers and travellers. Order milk tea and a plate of momos and watch the junction: trucks, jeeps, school buses and shared taxis all pass through.
Ask your driver about the roads that branch here. Wikipedia lists four joining roads: from Rangpo, Pakyong (two ways) and Rongli. It helps to know which one you are on.
Carry sanitiser and water. Eat where it is busy. If you have a long drive ahead, eat lightly.
