Best time to visit Bhutan

Spring and Autumn are the best time to visit Bhutan. Having said so, summer and winter have their own draws and attractions. Spring is the favourite time to visit Bhutan. Nature lovers who are keen on local flora should consider visiting Bhutan end of April or in May. Flowers would be in full bloom then

Famous food of Bhutan

There are many special dishes to eat it Bhutan which are

Ema Datshi (chilies and cheese): If there is one national dish of Bhutan, this is it. It’s so ubiquitous that some say if you haven’t eaten ema datshi, you haven’t been to Bhutan. The locals eat the stew, which is similar to a curry, daily along with red rice. It’s made of green, yellow or red chilies, yak or cow’s milk cheese, onions and tomatoes. Taste very carefully, though. The chilies of Bhutan are high up on the Scoville Heat Scale and are meant to make you warm enough to sweat.

Phaksha Paa (Pork with Red Chilies): A classic Bhutanese stew of strips of boneless pork shoulder simmered slowly until tender with mooli (daikon radish), ginger, bok choy, and–you guessed it–chili powder. When finished, the stew is topped with dried pork and fresh green chili strips and served with rice.

Momos (Dumplings)Bhutan: This is one food that Western travelers may have sampled, since the momo has immigrated to India and is quite similar to the Chinese dumpling. Throughout the Himalayas–from Nepal and Tibet to Bhutan– these steamed buns are eaten as treats. They may be stuffed with almost anything, but the typical fillings are minced pork or beef, cabbage, or fresh cheese mixed with spices such as garlic, ginger and coriander.

Shopping in Bhutan

“Bhutia” markets are colourful heaps of shawls, sweaters, coats and trinkets of turquoise and coral. The women in their traditional attire (“bakus”) may not speak your language but will help you make the right choice. The Handicraft Emporium in the main street in Thimphu sells an assortment of hand-woven goods and handicrafts. You can order silver and gold ornaments to your taste at the Thimphu Valley and they will specially craft it for you. Thangka paintings and Bhutanese stamps make great souvenirs. Philatelists around the world prize these stamps, which are printed on silk and metal foil
