Thimphu’s Centenary Farmer’s Market opened in its current two-story location in 2008. Approximately 400 vendors sell seasonal products made and grown locally in Thimphu and surrounding towns of Bhutan. Open daily, shoppers come here to stock up on fruits, vegetables, legumes, rice, grains, spices, cheese and chili peppers. As with most markets of the world, it’s busiest on the weekends and a great place to catch up with the locals to see what’s cooking around town.
Until tomorrow,

Just missing the smell and the sound, all the rest is there. Thanks again for taking us to Bhutan.

The market looks spotlessly clean. Was it?

Yes, it was very clean (far more than other markets we’ve been to around the world). Bhutan overall is pretty spotless. No trash anywhere and a great respect for nature.

amazing photos! as Lookoom says, just the smells of the spices and sounds of the market are missing. What camera and editing programme do you use?

Thanks, Rachael! I need to start shooting more video to include the sounds! I shoot with a Nikon D5600 — nothing too fancy. I like it because it’s got a lot of functionality but is still small enough to travel easily with and carry in my daypack (also small) with an additional 55-300 lens. I edit in Adobe Photoshop.

I thought those chiles were shrimp (or crawdads) at first glance. Impressive pile, either way.
