Tibetan Incense

Tibet is a mountainous country with harsh natural conditions. On the seemingly barren mountain slopes and foothills grow plants and woody plants with great medicinal potential. The herbs are carefully collected and rolled into fragrant strings (dhupaya) or scented sticks according to ancient Ayurvedic recipes. Nepalese and Tibetan incense sticks are very different from Indian or Japanese ones, with a coarse texture, greater thickness, and a strong spicy earthy aroma when burnt, reminiscent of the harsh highland life.
