The iconic Kalimpong Noodle Factory has been destroyed by fire. Owned by Gyalo Thondup, older brother of HH the Dalai Lama, the factory became famous after the publication of his book The Noodle maker of Kalimpong: The Untold Story of My Struggle for Tibet in 2015. His nearby home, Taktser house, named after his birthplace in Tibet, was not affected. Dhondup, 91, plans to rebuild the factory.
