Tibet has its own rich cuisine. Because of the relatively harsh natural environment that people there live in, they tend to consume food high in energy to keep themselves warm and function well. Cooking with water in Tibet is difficult because the altitude changes the boiling point of water. Vegetables are also very scarce. All these have made Tibetan cuisine very special. You will find that the ingredients, cooking methods and dining etiquettes vastly different from anywhere in the world. Our Lhasa Food Tasting tour will take you on a journey to discover this great aspect of Tibetan culture.

Your local English speaking Tibetan guide will lead you into the best restaurants, teahouses and family kitchens in Lhasa. You will enjoy yak butter tea with local Tibetans and taste authentic Tibetan food. It is a tour not just for the foodies, but also for any traveler who wishes to genuinely explore what the locals have to offer.
