Songtsam Dining Namcha Barwa
Tibet
The second-floor restaurant at Songtsam Lodge Namcha Barwa draws its menu from Darin Village and the wider Milin area. Local chicken, Tibetan pork and yak from alpine pastures form the foundation, with regional herbs incorporated into dishes such as stewed chicken and beef soup. Dinner may include a hot pot with pine-nut broth, braised pork chop and Tibetan bacon. Desserts continue the local connection through peach pie and apple pudding made with dried fruit. The restaurant seats 78 within a lodge overlooking the Namcha Barwa mountain system and the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, giving the meal a strong relationship with its surroundings.
