Dinner time = checking out another famous cafe. Head to Alhito’s; a place famous for the food and the interiors. Rustic wooden interiors are complemented by tonnes of plants and the vibe is immaculate. They serve Indian, Chinese and Continental food, made with garden fresh ingredients.

If you wake up early in the morning, do not miss the opportunity to take a morning walk on Crank’s Ridge. You can easily walk to the ridge from the hostel. Surround yourself with brilliant views as you meditate amidst the trees.

Catch breakfast at the famous Dolma Restaurant, known well by travellers because of their delicious aloo parathas. You can also dine with a view from their terrace seating area.

Lucky for you, the Kasar Devi Temple is within walking distance from Dolma. Simply stroll down to the ancient temple and pay respects at the akhand jyoti, a fire that burns 24 hours. You will also be greeted with panoramic Himalayan views, including the Bandarpunch Peak.

Hike your way through incredible foliaged forests, sparkling rivulets and woodlands to reach the stunning Balta waterfall.

Famished from the hike? Head over the famous Kasar Kitchen for their famous steamed momos. Grab a plate, sit in their outdoor area and watch the stunning Himalayan views as you munch on glossy momos.

Don’t leave without something sweet. Go to Kheem Singh Mohan Singh Rautela Sweets in the main market and taste the local favorites - bal mithai and singhori.
