Bhutan Shopping Guide

One cannot simply come to the Land of the Thunder Dragon and leave without shopping.  Bhutan is a prominent representative of east Himalayan art and culture. Shopping in Bhutan is more about the things to buy and less about the Bhutan shopping places. The main roads and the back alleys of Thimphu, Paro, Phuentsholing brims with lined up shops selling all sorts of products that are sourced and crafted locally. However, most people prefer buying them from the Bhutan government emporiums for a guarantee of authenticity.

What to buy in Bhutan?

Here are the various things to buy in Bhutan when you visit the country and want to bring home some Bhutan souvenirs:

1. Handicraft items

Bhutanese culture has their art and craft divided into thirteen categories called Zorig Chusum. The school for handicrafts is also known by the same name. This is a popular profession in the country and many local artisans and craftsmen have degrees from National Institute of Zorig Chusum. These categories represent history, culture, tradition and the intricate science of art. From the many places for shopping in Paro, Bhutan, you can find wooden crafts, Bhutanese handicrafts bamboo products, paper and paper pulp products, wall hangings, bags and many other trinkets to buy. The wooden bowls or dappas, famous in the Trashiyangtse district as well as the rest of Bhutan, is one of the most popular gifts to buy in Bhutan. The National Handicraft Emporium in Thimphu has the best gallery to choose from.

2. Thangkas

Thangkas are a speciality of Bhutan. They are large drawings on cloth, made of cotton or silk, meant to be hanged like a painting on the wall. Thangkas have Buddhist roots and in many cases the painting is of the many forms of Lord Buddha. Usually they are vividly colourful, with hand-woven work with thread of every colour.  One should most certainly pay a visit to the shop of Zorig Chusum institute to buy one of these iconic indigenous products of Bhutan and grace the walls of their homes with it.

3. Hand-woven textiles

Hand-woven textiles are great for shopping in Bhutan, Thimphu. They are not like the usual clothing pieces one can buy anywhere. Bhutanese villages have their own unique textiles which are different than regular cotton or silk. Adang village in Wangdue Phodrang district is especially known for the three textiles made only there – Adang Rachu, Adang Mathra and Adang Khamar. For warmer clothes, Yethra is a textile made from putting together several strips of wool and dyeing them with natural colours. Sweaters, jackets, blankets, rugs – things made from Yethra are all very soft, warm and comfortable.

4. Himalayan Dzi beads

Himalayan Dzi beads are yet another speciality of Bhutan. They are crystalline rocks made of agate and used as beads in necklace, bracelet or earrings. But more than fashion accessories, they are known for their spiritual properties. People believe the Dzi beads bring luck and fight off the evil forces. They can be bought in different shapes and sizes – ovals, squares, cylinders, spirals. They can be monochromatic or have lines, dots and stripes on them. Dzi beads are one of the most expensive beads on earth and are great Bhutan souvenirs for someone you love and want to keep safe.

5. Bhutanese masks

The colourful masks decked with fabrics, paints and other embellishments are recreations of the masks that the dancers and performers wear during the many cultural festivals. Bhutanese artists recreate them in wood for the tourists to take home as a memory. It is a special thing to buy in Bhutan since it represents the country’s tradition.

6. Traditional Jewelry of Bhutan

One must definitely buy Bhutan jewelry while shopping in Bhutan. Bhutan is famous for its gold and silver jewelry. One can even buy bracelets and necklaces made from Himalayan beads which are quite popular and trendy in Bhutan.

7. Famous Buddhist Paintings

Bhutan is famous for its art, culture, and religion which also depicts in their paintings. Buddhist paintings can be purchased from the local markets at affordable prices. These painting showcases the religion of the country and is made using mineral paints.

    Kumar Saurav

    Bagdogra

    Kumar's 8 days trip to Bhutan

    Good service provided by Bhutan Online Owner Mr. Hari and his team of Mr. Jimmy (Guide). The guide was very friendly and helpful to make our trip enjoyable. The hotels booked were good with clean rooms. The food options (especially breakfast) in the hotel could have been better. However, food was fr
    eshly prepared and hence we preferred it over outside restaurants. Only other issue was during travel from Phuentsholing to Bagdogra on the last day, we asked the driver for a known restaurant option rather than local restaurant. However the driver said those options are only in the town and he could not go there, leading to no lunch stoppage. Would have preferred if our request could have been accomodated as we had ample time.

    Tarali Sarma

    Tarali's 4 days trip to Bhutan

    I recently booked a trip to Bhutan with Travel Triangle and was pleased with their overall services, from smooth bookings to helpful support. The first hotel was amazing, but I noticed a decline in quality with the second and third hotels, which was disappointing. Additionally, we missed several mai
    n tourist spots, which left me wondering if I missed out on some experiences. That being said, it was still a good trip, and I appreciated the hassle-free planning. The stunning, clean landscapes, the scenic drives, and the chance to try delicious local Bhutanese food were some of the best memories of the trip. Despite some setbacks, it was a memorable journey overall.

    Aniket's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    Thank you Sharmila Madam for organizing such a beautiful trip to Bhutan. The hotels you arranged were excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our driver and guide were extremely helpful and made our experience even more enjoyable. While Greenzone Destinations isn't my usual travel agency
    for Bhutan tours, this trip has been unforgettable, and I am truly grateful for the effort you put into making it special. Thank you once again for creating such lasting memories for us.

    Overall the Trip arrangement is good but need to put good Guide who should know respective place history & significance of monuments & places. In our case the guide was not fully aware of Bhutan History. Visiting Tiger's nest.

    Nairp's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    This was my first ever solo trip and that was to a most silent and slow moving country with the name Bhutan❤️ I went through an agency named Bhutan GNH Heritage Travel - Mr.Thapa. He was the first point of contact to share itenary for my trip and with lots of patience he heard my likes and dislikes
    , according to which itenary was presented back to me. There were many revisions and discussions for just 7 days of my trip which turned out to be a most memorable days so far in my 29 years

    Bangalore

    Rahul's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    The trip itself and the agent were quite decent but I've had a terrible experience with the travel triangle contact assigned to me. While booking the trip I used to get calls quite often for completing the booking but after the payments were done, the contact is not helping in sending over the TDS
    receipts for the trip.

    P's 6 days trip to Bhutan

    All went well, but Ms TANDIN is too slow and does not respond to our phone calls After office hours, and on Saturday, Sunday appropriately. It’s very difficult to deal with such a person as your travel agent. I am sorry to say this otherwise all the hotels transport and the trip was a joy. Travel Tr
    iangle did an excellent job BHUTAN is a very clean place. Well maintained less population. The rivers are very clean and 60% of the forest in the country fresh air. It is wonderful Trip and you did a great job.

    Ms's 7 days trip to Bhutan

    Overall the trip was good, however there are few improvements which can be done. The travel agent was less punctual. Staying in the river front resort in Paro and visit to Chelela Pass.
