Chapter 11: The full-moon night

During the fifteenth day of the month, tree pilgrims come to Thowadrak to offer butter lamps and prayers and it is with the help of these pilgrims that Dawa finally finds Gelong Ma Pelmo’s cave. From that day onward Dawa submits himself to Gelong Ma Pelmo but one day Dawa felt that something was missing in him. At once he realizes that the mange was gone.

Before going back to Thimphu, Dawa decides to visit all the villages that he had seen when he was at Thowadrak. Nothing eventful happens but he gets attacked by a dog called Merkhang when he visits a village beyond of Uri Ngphang. Dawa knew that if he stays any longer near Merkhang he would be humiliated so he heads towards Thimphu. On the way he spends a night at Kikila, but gets disturbed and distracted by passing trucks.
