A complete travelling experience always comes with not only beautiful scenery but also tasty food. When travel to Tibet, it is naturally a good idea to try the Tibetan food. Due to its high attitude and harsh climate, as well as the religious beliefs and local customs, the food and drink in Tibet are typically unique. Most dishes are lightly flavored, without any spicy sauce, reflecting the trend of a return to basics in food culture. The most recommended Tibetan food includes tsampa, butter tea, Tibetan sweet tea, beef and mutton, Tibetan barley wine etc.

In most cases, your Tibet tour includes the breakfast, which is served daily by the hotel for your stay in each night in Lhasa. The lunch and dinner, at the same time, are always at your own expense. Being reliable and responsible, our local guide will recommend the best possible place to eat, until everyone in your tour group comes to an agreement. From the local Tibetan restaurant to the eateries, from the guest house to small cafes, there are various options for tourists with different needs. Besides authentic Tibetan cuisine, you can also try Sichuan, Indian, Nepalese, or western-style food, as well as other styles as you prefer. Chances are that you may fall into love with a new dish when you only take a small bite of it. Or you are suggested to bring some snack food, in case you are not so keen on the local food.

Apart from regular daily meals, there are times when you can barely reach any restaurant for ready-made food, like in remote areas during a long trek tour. On this occasion, our guide will help to cook some simple food. And it could be an unforgettable and fun experience to prepare for the picnic together with your tour member, in the wild grassland of Tibet. Bland as it may be, the picnic food is still popular among everyone. No matter where you are in Tibet, always find yourself a perfect place to try some local food, and make your Tibet tour more memorable with a new taste. Then, you can finally say you have had a whole experience of the real Tibet.
