Best Shopping Places in Bhutan

Best Shopping Places in Bhutan

Bhutan in the northeast is blessed with panoramic beauty, rich culture, history and architectural heritage. It is among the very few countries that have been able to strike a fine balance between modern growth and cultural wisdom. Bhutan measures its success through a Happiness Index and shares the same outlook and hospitality with travelers.

Know More

If you are looking to visit Bhutan, then here are some of the items you should add to your shopping list (and the places you can buy them from) when holidaying here and take back a part of the country’s culture with you:

Indigenous paintings or Thangkas–

Thangka or rolled up scroll paintings are sacred to the Bhutanese and are intricately block printed or embroidered on cloth or silk applique.

Where to buy: Bhutan Art Gallery, National Institute of Zorig Chusum

Handicrafts–

Handicrafts in Bhutan

Traditional artisans make decorative vases, statues and wall hangings. Paper and bamboo products such as decorative notebooks, journals or greeting cards make for great gifting options.

Where to buy: Cheencho Handicraft, Jungshi Handmade Paper Factory

Wooden items–

About 75% of Bhutan is under forest cover. It is hence no surprise that wooden products are very popular among tourists. A ‘dappa’ or wooden bowl, intricately carved wooden masks, jewelry boxes and sculptures can make great decorative items for your house.

Where to buy: Choki Handicrafts, Wood Turning and Lacquering Cluster

Clothes and accessories–

Local food items–

Fresh local produce is used everywhere in Bhutan. Make sure to buy some unadulterated spices, chili powder, imported Chinese tea, and the world-famous noodles. If you are up for it, you could also take home samples of Yak cheese.

Buddha sculptures–

Buddhism is integral to the way of life in Bhutan. You can find majestic statues depicting Buddha in different postures that are made from various materials such as iron, bronze, wood and clay. Remember not to purchase any ‘antique’ items as you will not be allowed to take them out of the country.
