3.        Bhey

Bhey, the creation of Himachal Pradesh, is a dish that's a breeze to whip up and goes great with just about anything – be it rice or roti.

It's like a flavor explosion with all those Indian spices, yogurt, and special herbs from Himachal.

If you're a meat lover, this dish is a real treat, and it pairs perfectly with steamed rice. So, when you're in Himachal, make sure to give Chha Gosht a taste – it's a must-try for sure!

5.        Tibetan Thukpa

Tibetan Thukpa has its roots in Tibet, but you can savor it right in the heart of Manali. It's like a warm hug in a bowl, perfect for snuggling up during those chilly Manali winters. Some skilled folks even handcraft the noodles for that extra love.

These noodles are tossed into a mix of veggies or a clear, flavorful broth, and sometimes they add a tasty chicken stew. What's great is that you can personalize it to your liking. This dish isn't just delicious; it's a must-try! So, when you're in Manali, make sure to give Thukpa a taste – your taste buds will be in for a treat.
