For lunch we had the opportunity to taste the food prepared in a farm house. Local cuisine such as buck wheat noddles and pancake. It was quite staged for us but nonetheless interesting to see them preparing their traditional fare.
Traditional Bhutanese farm tools |
The Ugyencholing Palace and museum which we stopped at next was full of old masks (a bit eerie!), tools, furniture. A look at Bhutan a few decades ago.
Nunnery |
We all sat around the young nuns and listened to their recitations. I started to use a flash but stopped as it would disturb them.
After the mantras we were offered some tea and light refreshments and of course gave our offering to the temple.
Toilet door. Pema Choling nunnery |
Dinner in local restaurant for momos (Bhutanese dumplings) similar to what I had eaten in Ladakh. At night we were back to our Yugarling hotel.
