Food
Bhutanese cuisine is not for the light-hearted; it is simple, well-spiced, and deeply connected to the land. For a long time, all people in Bhutan had a farm, making sure their families were fed during winter periods. Grains such as millet, red rice, and buckwheat – often considered a power food in Western countries – are part of Bhutan’s culinary history. Discover the wide variety of spiciness and color of Bhutanese chillies when joining a local family for lunch.
Bhutanese fast food
Momos: yes, that’s how the Bhutanese dimsums are called, and they come in many flavours and shapes. You will find the momo shops at any corner and in any small village. Ask your guide to take you to his/her favourite momo restaurant, and enjoy.
Forgotten grains
Millet, red rice, brown quinoa, and buckwheat are some of the forgotten grains still grown in Bhutan. In recent times, there has been more attention for the benefits of these nutritious foods, which can be bought in any supermarket in Bhutan.
Organic farming
The majority of the families in Bhutan own a farm, and especially under the young generatiion there is more and more interest in organic farming. We can organize a visit to an organic farm, where you can meet some modern farmers, and pick some fresh fruits and vegetables on the way.
Do it yourself
In a country where climate change is an everyday reality, sustainable growth is necessary. Slowly, new produce is introduced to the market, creating a healthier and more sustainable source of income for the many farming families. We can connect you with innovators in farming in Bhutan for a meeting and tour of new projects.

Dining under the stars
In for a romantic evening? Dining under the stars is a sensational experience in Bhutan, because of the absence of light pollution, the number of stars is incredible.
