A bowl of thukpa

Thukpa (Tibetan: ཐུག་པ་, Wylie: thug pa) is a Tibetan noodle soup, usually served with meat. It is popular in Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and also in the states of Sikkim, Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh and some other parts of India. The food is widely available in restaurants in these regions. There are numerous varieties of thukpa, including:

• Thenthuk (Tibetan: འཐེན་ཐུག་, Wylie: 'then thug),
• Gyathuk (Tibetan: རྒྱ་ཐུག་, Wylie: rgya thug),
• Pathug (Tibetan: བག་ཐུག་, Wylie: bag thug), and
• Drethug (Tibetan: འབྲས་ཐུག་, Wylie: 'bras thug). The Nepali version of Thukpa contains chili powder, masalas and traditional Nepali Sukuti, which gives it a hot and spicy flavour.
