Kalimpong

Mm.

Even if you find these kids, um, the place that I was looking at, um, also had a place called, in Kalimpong, which is up in that area, and for those who don't know India-

Mm

... um, this northeast area of India is largely Nepalese, um, sort of in ethnicity.

Luckily for us, we had at the Army and Navy Stores, and acting in the interests of the expedition, a most capable agent.

As the ships containing the stores arrived, the latter were unloaded, rapidly passed through the customs, and forwarded on to Kalimpong Road, which is the terminus of the Darjeeling Railway and the Teesta Valley.

On arrival, there they were met by our representative in no less a person than Captain Morris, handed over to the contractors who were moving our stores and forwarded on to Tibet in advance of the expedition.

This naturally required a great deal of arranging.

I must mention that shortly after our arrival in Darjeeling, we were joined by Captain Morris, who immediately left for Kalimpong, two stages on our journey, to which place the whole of the outfit of the expedition was sent.

We could not spare the time to wait for the arrival of the oxygen, and therefore, when the party finally left Darjeeling, Captain Finch, the scientist in whose charge the whole of the oxygen and scientific apparatus had been put, remained behind with Mr. Crawford to bring it up.

Luckily, the ship arrived in Calcutta just as we were leaving, and therefore the delay was less than we had anticipated.

He served us very well indeed from one end of the expedition to the other, and it was a great deal owing to his cheerfulness and to his excellent manners and way with the Tibetans that we never had the smallest possible misunderstanding with any officials, even the lowest grades, to disturb our good relations with the Tibetans of any kind or class.

It's kind of salty and squeaky.

And then a final one, probably my favorite actually, is called Kalimpong.

That's from Bengal in the east.

For any Welsh cheese aficionados out there, it's a bit like Caerphilly, a sort of mild and crumbly cheese.
