RUNGPO (NOW RANGPO) PHOTOGRAPHS IN 1910


Rangpo has an emotional attachment to me; my mother was a government school teacher and I had spent the first two years of my life at this place.

Rangpo Government School (1980)


This photo presentation is from a series of photographs dating 1910 attributed to Absolute Vintage Photos. Rangpo, a business hub and a historic town is today an important border town of Sikkim, the gateway to eastern Sikkim. Since the monarchy days, the vehicles are stopped to be checked at this point and foreigners needs required documents even to this day.
