Meandering road at Jaluk

 
Posted by Picasa


Meandering road at Jaluk: After signing the Indo-Tibet Trade Mart convention in 1904, The British carried out trade with Tibet [China]through this road. A long caravan of mules and horses staggered on their journey towards The Jalepla Pass, carrying loads of “Kalobhari”. Goods were usually packed with black tarpaulin in order to protect it from snow and rain, hence the term "Kalobhari" evolved as a common terminology that referred to the goods exported.
