From day to night, Jakar town changes dramatically. The Bumthaps love their bar cum shop cum restaurant cum hotel and they all meet in town to share a few beers, whiskeys and momos (dumplings) in the evenings.
If you like to experience the town after dark, we have handpicked a few of our favourite places. Our recommendation starts with a visit to Sonam Dolker Hotel where Mr Namgay will offer Indian wine or a local beer in his kitchen. From here, the next stop is Sunny’s Restaurant where you can get some of the best momos in town. A two minutes walk further down the town strip is Coffee Corner where Mrs Pema Zangmo will prepare her specialty, much appreciated by the villagers; Meat Rolls with chilli dip. Coffee Corner also serves the best milk tea in town. The next stop is the neighboring bar, Tashi Phuntsho Restaurant for some ara (rice wine).
