Thukpa

We know you might have had this dish elsewhere as well, but as mentioned earlier, the local flavour is something else, and you must try it by all means. Essentially Tibetan, thukpa is a type of noodle soup that is extremely comforting in the coldness of Leh. Thukpa is also very nutritious due to its vegetable and meat content, and is a wholesome meal in itself. Of course there are various types of spicy add-ons to the thukpa which make it tastier and all the more enticing. When in Leh, experiencing the Thukpa is a must. Again, this is another dish that you will find in most restaurants here. There is also a variant of it, known as dry thukpa; it is sans the soup and is equally tasty. But we think that the romantic Leh weather demands the warmth of thukpa soup, so do the right thing here!
