Near Pedong are the ruins of Damsang Gadi, a historical fort built in 1690 AD by the Lepchas. It was at the centre of the long-standing feud with the Dukpas of Bhutan. Later, it was used to ward off the forces of the British East India Company. After the Anglo-Bhutan War of 1864 AD, the fort fell into decay. The Damsang fort (Damsang Gadi) is the only fort in the entire district of Darjeeling. It was home to the last Lepcha King- Gyabo Achuk as the Lepcha people are the real natives of this place.
There is nothing like the
Smell of a summer breeze
Nothing like the chill from
The shadow of a shady tree
Gonna go down to the river
Gonna go down make it right
And send all my love to your maker
For making you right
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
Then this could be our summer song
There's nothing like the
Way that you say your on my side
And I want to know that
Words help me days go by
Gonna go down to the river
Gonna go down make it right
And send all my love to your maker
Ffor making you right
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
Then this could be our summer song
Let me make you understand
Just take me by the hand
Let me show you all i can
And be your only man
If I could only make you see
Just what you mean to me
You know it won't be to long
Till we sing our summer song
Are you ready for a new day, a new day
Blow me a kiss and send it straight to the sun
And if you want to take it my way, my way
