Landlady and host in Red House Kagbeni
The owner of the Red House in Kagbeni is a princess of the kingdom Lo Mantang and preparing us a cup of butter tea.
Drinking butter tea is a regular part and it is always served to guests. Sometimes we drunk up to 40 cups of it a day. Since butter is the main ingredient, butter tea is a very warming drink, providing lots of caloric energy and is particularly suited to high altitudes. The butter also helps prevent chapped lips. Some people avoid of drinking this cocktail made with with fresh yak butter and salt, but I got used it very soon.

Once again a great picture!!!But I'm afraid butter tea isn't very tasty - I never have heard of it before. But if you may have nothing it will be delicious! ...
