Bermoik Tshlamthang is
half hour drive from Singtam. This silent village holds a special place in the
historical legacy of Sikkim. Here lies a century year old three storey traditional
nepali house that has witnessed the transformation of the small Himalayan
kingdom of Sikkim to the democratic state of mighty Indian Union. Gopi Chandra
Subba, the present day owner of the house had told that he had bought this
house from Bishnu Chandra Sapkota in 1969. He said that an elderly local from
Bermoik at his ripe age of 95 who is still alive had said that he had heard
about this house in his childhood, which makes this house as old as 160 years,
told Subba. The specialty of this heritage house is that no nails had been used
during its construction. The materials then used were mud and wood. Some 8
years back Culture Department had given a grant of Rs 50000 and during 18/7
Sikkim Earthquake they did received a grant of Rs. 30000.
