Take an early morning stroll around Thimphu's colourful weekend market, which is held just north of the sports stadium.
People from surrounding villages start arriving on Friday evening and come to buy and sell produce, ranging from dried chillies and yak butter to textiles and bamboo products. The market continues until Sunday afternoon.
