Description: The Lepchas build their houses on slopes, piles or stilts, giving a magnificent view of their habitat in the high Himalayan mountains. A typical Lepcha house consists of two moderately sized rooms. One of which is used as the kitchen (thock) and living room and the second as ceremonial and guest room. A small store room called 'boh' is also attached to the extremity of the side wall. This is where Lepchas usually keep fermented millets and rice to prepare local liquor.
