India & Bhutan
When you visit, be prepared for heat and, in the south,
high humidity. Food specialties vary from region to region,
ranging from the rich Mughal-influenced meat dishes of the
north to the flavorful, satisfying vegetarian meals of the
south. While local chefs use spices with an extravagant
hand, usually their complex mixtures add layers of flavor
rather than heat. Neighboring Bhutan, nestled in the eastern
Himalayas between India and Tibet, offers another experience
entirely. Long isolated from the world at large, Buddhist
Bhutan is — slowly and carefully — opening its doors to
outsiders. Travelers are an important source of foreign
exchange, but nonetheless their numbers are strictly
controlled to protect traditional ways of life. Visitors
should be prepared for the pleasures (and minor limitations)
of a journey “back in time.” Bhutan’s landscapes are
pristine and its traditional cultures fascinating, but
remember too that some modern conveniences (like purchases
by credit card and your favorite soft drink) will likely not
be available.
