Rope incense
Type of incense from the Tibet region
Rope incense or Tibetan incense is made in Tibet, Northern parts of Nepal, and Bhutan.[1] Incense is an important representation of the Tibetan culture. These incenses have a characteristic "earthy" or herbal scent to them. Rope incenses can contain 30 or more ingredients. Like most Asian incense, Tibetan incense is extruded into lengths or coils, rather than rolled around a bamboo stick.[2] The incense is known as bateko dhoop (lit. braided incense) in Nepali language and is used as an alternative to stick incense.[3]
