just to round off this sikkim thought while all the maps are still out
at the opposite end of the sikkim west bengal border is btin2sasiwe
where this now internal indian siwe state line emerges on btin at the samchi district
http://www.statoids.com/mbt.html
at or very near btw btw
aka the westernmost point of bhutan
but in any case at a location widely purported to be the rechela or rachela pass
for which however no pix or map identifications have yet been found
so
adding these 2 putative ghost tricountry points of sikkim to her 2 equally elusive extant
tricountry points at cninnpe & btcninw
which we also most recently missed in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/17378
gives a total of 4 most major sikkim tripoints
all somewhat identified now
but all probably still equally lost in the clouds too
