Tap water is not considered so safe in Bhutan for drinking purposes unless it is boiled or purified by some chemical agents. Bottled mineral water is readily available in hotels, small and big retail outlets and restaurants. It is best for travelers to avoid eating salads during meals as they are likely to have been washed in unclean water. If drinking bottled water, don’t forget to check the seal while buying it. Avoid ice as it could have been prepared from the normal tap water. Also, avoid fresh juices as they may have been watered down.
