Food is the great leveller in life and everyone who has waited at a restaurant or a roadside eatery will attest to it that everything tastes better when you’re travelling. This is more so when you’re in the Himalayas, somewhere like Ladakh where you’ll feel the hunger keenly because of the crisp invigorating mountain air. So, what to eat in Ladakh?
Well, for starters, there’s Tigmo, a fermented and steamed bread served with stew, the ubiquitous momos which are a must-try and the Thukpa. Clear soup, lots of vegetables and shreds of meat. What’s not to like? Of course, if you’re in Ladakh, you must try the Chhupri, which is cheese made from yak milk. Chhupri can be had plain, sweet or salted. The Chhupri momos you get here are something else altogether. There’s also the famed butter tea that you must have – pink and salty – this tea helps in not just keeping your body warm but also helps in preventing altitude sickness.
