  A freind with his warm glass of tungba,
by Saagar
 
 

Tungba is a drink, mildly alcoholic that is made from fermentation of millet. It is especially popular with the central and eastern mountain and hills people of Nepal.
It is served in a large glass or wooden cup and with a wooden or metal straw with sieve in the end to keep the drags out. As you drink the drink is replenished by piping hot water served in a jug on the side. As you proceed, the strength of Tungba diminishes. This is a good drin for slow drinkers and those who don't want too much this evening...
About 50-80 rupees for a pint in a place geared toward tourists.
