We were zipping down the Bengaluru-Mysore highway (SH-17) which connects Mysore to the coffee heartland of Coorg, when an arch about four kilometres before Kushalnagar town beckoned us to another world. This was a world of stupas, fluttering prayer flags and five stunning monasteries.
The arch marked the town’s entrance. The place pulsates with the sights and sounds of Tibet. After taking a detour, a left turn and then driving inside for a kilometre we realized that we had reached Bylekuppe, the largest Tibetan settlement in India.
We saw Tibetan schoolchildren. . .
