Being so far in the north and isolated from so many large centers, Shangri-La’s Cuisine is traditionally based around staples such as Yak meat, root vegetables and hearty barely. For the adventurous appetite we can introduce you to some of the local favorites.

Yaks are raised for meat, dairy and fuel on the highlands of the Tibetan plateau, so you will see the common staples of the Tibetan diet, such as barley and yak meat, make themselves apparent. This alpine area is world famous for rare plants, such that the local hotpot incorporates a range of delicious mushrooms.
