BHUTANESE FOOD

Normal Bhutanese dishes are hot and spicy. Chilli is often used in plenty, and other spices include garlic, pepper (I think the Chinese kind), ginger etc. Other main ingredients include vegetables, cheese, beef, pork and chicken.

If you are interested to learn more about Bhutanese food, please visit the Bhutanese food site created by a Bhutanese student at thinley.tripod.com/recipe/index.html or a site called 'Food of the Shangrila' at http://www.culinarypleasures.com/bhutan.htm.

For those on a normal tourist visa, the cost of all meals served is covered by the 'fixed daily tourist tariff'. If you are a tourist who has paid 'fixed daily rates', you don't have to pay any extra money irrespective of the kind of meals you order. For the tourists, Chinese, Indian, and Continental dishes are served. If you want to experiment, you can also try the hot Bhutanese dishes.

For tourists on treks, meals served may be simple but nutritious and tasty. Meals are normally served buffet style in the hotels.

The 'fixed daily rate' includes all meals in Bhutan and may include complimentary mineral water, beer and local drinks. Your last meal served by your tour operator will be the breakfast on the day of your departure from Bhutan.
