Shopping in Bhutan

Bhutan has small but vibrant cottage industry. Traditional craftmen use simple tools to make a variety of crafts specifically designed for use in Bhutanese homes rather than for sale in the tourist market although the concept of souvenirs is catching on.

Hand woven textile is finest product in Bhutan. Colorful wooden masks and other wooden products are made in Bhutan. Thanka painting, bamboo products and Bhutanese stamp also can be your souvenir. Bhutanese whisky is also good to shop.

You may visit handicrafts market or center for shopping. Most of shops accepts cash only. It is encouraged to have local currency while you are shopping.
