Bhutan Food and Travel Guide - Day 1: My wife and I flew from Bangkok to Paro, Bhutan on Druk Air. We landed in Paro, and it was about an hour taxi ride to get to Thimphu, which is the largest city in Bhutan, and where we were going to base ourselves.
After getting settled into the My Bhutan house, we headed out to the Thimphu Farmers Market, a local produce market.
Bhutanese food lunch at Kalden Restaurant - For my first ever Bhutanese food meal, we headed over to Kalden Restaurant, a local restaurant in Thimphu. We ordered ema-datse, which is the Bhutanese food national dish of chilies and cheese, plus a number of other cheese dishes, which we ate over rice. It was an amazing first Bhutanese meal.
Indian vegetarian food dinner at New Grand Restaurant - We ordered a spread of dishes including aloo ghobi, and one of my personal favorite, chili paneer.
It was an amazing first day, flying from Bangkok to Paro, Bhutan, and then on to Thimphu. I was blown away by my first Bhutanese food meal!
Disclosure:
It was an honor to be invited by MyBhutan to visit Bhutan to explore Bhutanese food and culture. Thank you to MyBhutan Productions for making my trip and this video possible!

Thank you for your patience - the long awaited Bhutan food and travel video series has finally been approved!
There are a total of 20 videos. I will be publishing a new Bhutan video on Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, until the end of the series (so 4 videos per week). Stay tuned for Bhutanese food, culture, amazing people and natural scenery.
MORE BACKGROUND INFO: Just to let you know, these Bhutan videos were filmed at the end of 2015, but due to my visiting conditions, the videos needed to be approved before I could post them. It took a little longer than expected, but they are approved now.
If you watch this entire Bhutan video series, I think it will give you an exciting glimpse into the amazing traditions, food, and culture of Bhutan.
Thank you for watching, and after this Bhutan video series, I have some really exciting food videos coming your way!
Mark Wiens Cool
Mark Wiens atlast u visited Bhutan...Land of Thunderstorm
Chanchal Sarkar its thunder dragon

Hi Mark
I am a single mum living in Israel, my son Gavriel (9 years old) and I watch your videos and we learn so much about places in the world we might never see in reality.
Thanks your videos. We love what you do :)
You and your lovely family lift our spirit and bring us joy and calm.
Peace and love.
Juliette
❤
Hedva Juliette peace
Hedva Juliette Hi, I'm a single parent of two as well., and I fear flying but my kids problably won't see an airplane anytime soon. 😂
Hedva Juliette please know that Israel is loved by many. Your country is disrespected by the surrounding countries. Israel is in Gods heart
Hedva Juliette your message touched my heart. I can tell that you love your son and how you want to open up the world to him by watching these videos.. I fostered a boy from the school I taught at for a few years and he would have loved these videos as well. God bless you and your boy. I know how hard it is to be a single Mum at times. Xx
qasimsfl14 hey hey, no. don't disrespect her like that. don't be so cruel.
Well I am an Indian. Bhutan is just 2 Hours drive from my home. Best thing is I don't even need visa. It's free for us. Looking forward to visit this heaven. Bhutanese are best.
Subham Bhattacharjee i heared bhutan, nepal ,and india these three countries people dont need visa to visit their neighbourhood country..sounds execited.
@@chaalllaaann8294 ya its like a mini euro zone, u can travel freely between these countries and indian rupees is evena legal tender in nepal and bhutan
we nepalese can't go Bhutan as you Indians/Bangladeshi do. We need to pay the same amount as that non-south asian do. It should have been resolved but I don't know. May be because of some conflicts relating refugees
@@shivamghimire400 ya bcoz of that
Is that you're from Northeast India?
Mark, I don't know why I'm crying, but that mountain view on the plane was breathtaking. Everything is so so modern. Love the video!!!!!!!! Thank you I'm right there with you guys. As always

Ika Arianti hi can u b my friend
I am sure the foods mark eat is all chili flavored. That is why h takes a. Spoonful of. Food. To taste without anything off ther spices. But he is the best when it comes to food tasting ands it makes one very hungry. N long to go all ther places
Thank ika for your beautiful comment
I wish if you could visit it once
I am Nepalese, and I always have a soft side for Bhutan. I always look on the Internet because I want to know how the country looks like. It is much like my own country, but way cleaner and politically stable.
M Bhutanese, I can feel u as I hv same feeling towards Nepali ❣
Google "Ethnic cleansing in bhutan."
Ohh you are so sweet 🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you so much

Amazing!
Excellent video.. Mark Wiens original, empirical, from the heart video-making as always.. love the food
Hey Mark! Can't believe I'm not the only one who drinks tomato juice only on planes! The Bhutanese food looked awesome. Love chili's so a cuisine that uses them liberally is one I want to try. Had no idea what Bhutanese food was like. Thanks! And looking forward to the next Bhutan video.
Yes! Finally. This series is going to be fantastic. 👍👍
Thank you Tosh!
Hi Mark. Great Video. Please tell "Hi" to my son Ilya, he is your huge fan from Boston!
Mark Wiens How many hours is it between each meal you eat? Just wondering..we don't know how quickly the time past. lol
Great video as always. There is always good news to hear from Bhutan, its poeple and its happiness. I can see it is reflecting in this video in all its glory!
I see you have got hold of all the wonderful things that make up Bhutan. Thank you for capturing my country through your eyes.

Finally!!! Bhutan is on my list!!
Greetings from Bhutan.we are very happy to welcome you to visit our beautiful country thought Druk smile tours druksmiletours@gmail.com thank you
Beautifully narrated. Thanks
Mark It so nice seeing parts of Bhutan....and all the nice foods in your travel it's amazing..lthnx lots
I like your facial expression whenever you are having different kind of food
Awesome video! I didn't even know this country existed. The food looked amazing!
Mariel Paez it is pretty hard to go there
I love Mark's comments with every bite he takes.
I like your scene transitions in this video Mark. I don't recall you overlapping audio and video from separate scenes before. The off camera dialogue with pan in is a fresh feel. Great job, keep 'em coming!
ผมชอบมากๆ
Your videos are just fantastic Mark. They have this awesome uplifting thing about them that every time I watch one of your videos after a hard day of life it just cheers me up to the core. Hope to meet you someday in some restaurant 😂😂 Have you been to Sikkim? I went there last December and the food was great there too. I ate a lot of pork and it was damn good. One thing I didn't enjoy much was the greasiness but I guess it is to tackle the cold weather.
I am a bhutanese currently I live in Nrway. Thanx for uploading this video.

I am Bhutanese and let me declare we are the HAPPIEST nation, though UN puts us somewhere behind Somalia, they think money make people happy.
~Cheers
Completely agree with you.
GOD bless your country and your people...
Bhutan is a heaven
Behind SOMALIA? Hahahahahaha of all places they put you guys behind them. What a joke
The UN has become a corrupt organization serving the elites.
