An enchanting getaway where time it seems stands still, Bhutan offers a cultural journey of discovery like no other. A unique way to experience this culture is to visit the various Bhutan markets where you can join in with locals and purchase a range of traditional items and handicrafts. Paro is a good place to begin your shopping excursions and those in search of a Bhutan hotel in the region can consider Uma Bhutan. It provides a variety of Bhutan tour packages as well which let you enjoy the very best the country has to offer.

When in Paro make sure to check out its local markets where one can purchase everything from woven baskets to carved masks and wooden bowls to fabrics woven by hand. Chencho Handicraft and the Handicraft Emporium are among the popular shopping sites in Paro. Also worth visiting is Thimphu which is also known for its local markets. Make sure to head to Choki Handicrafts, the Gagyel Lhundrup Weaving Centre and Druktrin Rural Handicraft when here. Best of all is the charming atmosphere around these shopping locales providing the perfect setting in which to enjoy laidback retail therapy in Bhutan.
