The Alcoholic Drink That Is Not Sipped But Sucked Through Straw!!
Q: Where do you find the best Tongba in the world?
A: In the Eastern Himalayan Region of Nepal.
Tongba, exclusive drink of the Himalayas in eastern Nepal and places bordering the area like Tibet and some parts of India, in a simple language can be stated as a hot beer but is more than that. Served in a fabulous bamboo goblet, craved from a full-grown plant, lay atop a saucer, embellished with a straw, Tongba must be the only alcoholic drink which is not sipped but sucked through a straw.
The stuffing, inexplicably, looks just about solid, a mass of gloomy grains, until the goblet is filled with warm water, and the Tongba emerges as a yellowish, cloudy swivel of fluid. Taste Tongba as it is one of the interesting things to do in Nepal.
Tongba in its pure and pristine form is one of the best drinks one can have from all around the world. Earlier in the days, Tongba was limited to the locals in the Himalayas but today after the flow of the tourists in the region, Tongba has become everyone’s cup of tea. It is a good thing that Tongba has been commercialized and is available in most part of Nepal. However, this has led to the degradation in the quality and the taste of Tongba.
