They will welcome you with ‘ara’ – a traditional drink of Bhutan made with rice, wheat or maze. They will tell about the culture of Bhutan. There was some special thing with this drink "aapko teen baar apni ring finger ko clockwise rotate karna hai aur last mein you need to offer one drop to god and then you are ready to drink". Gazab ki drink hai guys hilaake rakh deti hai fir poora bhutan nashe mein hi dikhta hai (yeh sahi hai pehle hi nasha kardo aur baad mein tourist khush hoke hi jaata hai).

Our guide helping MJ built mud houses (sikhado isse madam kuch kaam toh aayegi)
