Punakha Market


As always, I enjoyed a short stop to a bustling market on an open lot in the Punakha Valley. It also helps to describe some of the Bhutanese cuisine which is based almost entirely around chillies, rice, potatoes and cheese. Some eat meat - mostly cured and served with a healthy dose of chillies.


A type of fern harvested from the forests and stirfried as a vegetable.


Wild pepper.



An ingenious baby carrier made from a single stretch of fabric. I saw various verions of this, depending on the child's size. Pretty cool.
