Wangdue Phodrang Weekend Market

Want to go off the beaten path? Well, it’s pretty much everywhere in Bhutan due to the “Sustainable Tourism” strategy and the road condition in Bhutan. Having said that, some popular tourist spots such as Tiger’s Nest and Punakha Dzong are still crowded with tourists.

If you are travelling in a small group, more flexible in timing and schedule, there are a lot of places where you can explore further and learn more about the local culture in this Kingdom of Happiness.

Potatoes. Guess where the market is: the next door neighbor India. For the obvious reason I suppose – curry.
薯仔(馬鈴薯)。值得一提的是很多不丹種的薯仔都是運到鄰國印度。我猜明顯是為了印度的咖喱。

These yellow looking fruits are guavas. Most of the fruits in Bhutan don’t look good because they are organic! Autumn is the guava season and they taste good and juicy!
這些偏黃色的水果是番石榴,你會發現不丹的水果賣相都不太好,原因是它們都是有機的!秋天是番石榴季節,非常美味和多汁。
