Dining in Ngari
Edited by
on 2018-01-24 12:04:41The food in Ngari (western Tibet) is quite limited in varieties under the influence of a harsh climate. Especially vegetables and fruits are mostly imported from other places. Therefore the food in Ngari is much more expensive than expected. Anyhow, it is lucky that restaurants still can be found in most towns and counties of this remote area. The restaurants supply Tibetan cuisine, Sichuan food and Xinjiang dishes. However, during the trip to Mt. Kailash or further trip to Kashgar, most of time, the food will be served as fried rice, noodles and simple dishes.
