Shopping

The main shopping area runs along Norzin Lam, the central street, and around Clock Tower Square. The best genuine Bhutanese crafts are sold at the Government Handicraft Emporium (fixed prices, reliable quality), the Jungshi Paper Factory (traditional Dzo-sho paper products), and the Royal Textile Academy shop. The weekend market is the best place for local food products — dried chillies, cheese, and fermented grain. Avoid the tourist stalls selling mass-produced Buddhas and thangkas imported from Nepal unless you specifically don't mind the origin.
