Tashi Dorji describes a pilgrimage to Tshong Tshongma and the surrounding area. He discusses a biography of Tshong Tshongma Ney (the religious site) which was taken by the people of Bonglang village (Tawang District, Arunachal Pradesh, India) for reception purposes but never returned. It says there is a garden of Tshong Tshongma at the base of Dukti village with fruits, betel leaves, betel nuts, and other plants which only those who are about to die can reach. He explains that the deity behind the Jomo is Tshong Tshongma. If someone has lost one’s life force, it can be retrieved from the devil with the help of Jomo.

Dorji and Tashi Dorji, residents of Dukti village, discuss Serwa Dzong, an abandoned fortress outside Dukti village (about two hours walking). They explain that no one is sure when it was originally built, and now only ruins remain to tell its existence. They say it was used as a checkpoint in ancient times to collect taxes from merchants passing through Bhutan into the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Now, there is a makeshift police checkpoint next to the ruins, erected during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep watch on trespassers.

Mrs. Humchung is one of the oldest people living in Thragom village. She describes her pilgrimage to Buddha Gaya, a Buddhist temple in Bihar, India. First, she walked to Trashigang, in the middle of Trashigang Dzong courtyard. From Trashigang she took a truck. She says that almost all the elders in her village went together and almost all of them died, except for 6 of them. It took them a week to reach Buddha Gaya. They took their rations and cooked using firewood. The glaring difference she discusses is that now, there is no fencing around the Bodhi tree. They were allowed to get inside the Mahabodhi temple without any trouble. They did inner circulation on the second floor of Mahabodhi temple, which is impossible now.
