Kamba Nomadic Cafe

I chose the 299.99 yuan set meal for 4 people. First of all, the dishes are very rich. Yak beef is a specialty of the Tibetans. You must try it when you come to Xishuangbanna. I chose several restaurants before coming here, and finally chose this one because it is the most popular. It turns out that it is really delicious, the quantity is sufficient, and the service is also very good. There is also a treasure in the store, which is the scenery. You can take a photo with the White Pagoda by the window, so the seats are very popular. You need to make an appointment in advance to get the best position. In addition to yak beef, tsampa, barley cakes, butter tea, and Tibetan yak yogurt are all specialties here. You must try them.

Yak slices simmer in the crimson broth, their aroma filling the air. The gift of the plateau transforms into warmth on the tip of your tongue, and every bite exudes the grandeur of the snowy land. Sit around the stove and let the boiling pot warm you throughout your journey!!!

It was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo! Reasonable price and friendly service. If you like Tibetan food, it's worth a visit!

Very good, very good. Friends who like Tibetan food can go and eat!

Looking at the sunlight in her wrinkles and the glittering silver ornaments, I suddenly understood— The luxury of paradise is never in expensive tickets, but in the sweet tea offered by a stranger, and the entirety of the four seasons freely given by the snow-capped mountains. 🏔️ (DM me the secret code for the sunrise over the Golden Mountain!
