Tibetan Specialties

Lahaul, Spiti, Dharamshala, and Ladakh bring with them the prospect of sampling some of the finest Tibetan and Tibet-influenced food. Thukpa, a steamy soup of noodles, meat, and vegetables, parties a staple of Ladakhi and Tibetan cuisine. Fragrant and delicately steamed momos, dumplings stuffed with vegetables, cheese, or meat, are also a standby. Other interesting dishes to sample include salty yak-butter tea, dumplings and porridge made from tsampa (roasted wheat and barley flour), and chhung (barley beer).
