You can try their Ramen here. It's too good to be true.

Their special chutney had an excellent taste! Momo was also stuffed properly & the outer part was thin. It was all right until I found they had put black pepper in all over their stuffings which makes it even more spicier. Why? Can't you make another listing for more spicier ones?!

Trip Report: Pangarchulla Peak Trek (Late April)

Just got back from a 6 day push to Pangarchulla Peak. The snow conditions on the upper ridges made it an incredible challenge, but the views of the Garhwal range were absolutely unmatched. Here is a breakdown of the costs, and itinerary for anyone looking to plan this!

>Trip Details & Route:

Dates: 23rd April – 28th April

Duration: 6 Days / 5 Nights

Route: Rishikesh → Joshimath → Tugasi Village → Guling → Khullara → Pangarchulla Summit → Rishikesh.

Terrain: Transitioned from lush green oak and rhododendron forests to heavy residual snow zones near the summit ridge.

Trek Origaniser: The Searching Souls

>Costs & Budget (Per Person)

Total Trek Cost: ₹9,000 (Included local guides, campsite tents, all meals on the trail, and medical/safety support).

Transportation: Rishikesh to Rishikesh (Organized by the Trekking company)

>Transport & Connectivity

Intercity: Took a mix of Train and Bus to reach the main transit hubs.

To Basecamp: Traveled via a shared Traveller from Rishikesh to Joshimath.

>Accommodation & Camp Life

On the Trail: High-altitude alpine tents pitched at beautiful clearings like Khullara. The camp vibes under the stars were incredible, though temperatures dipped significantly at night. It was -3°C.

In transit: Stayed at the Hosteller, Upper Tapovan in Rishikesh before and after the trek to unwind and repack gear.

>Food Highlights & Best Experiences

The trail food was surprisingly excellent and keeping us fueled was a priority, but the cafe hopping before and after the trek in Rishikesh was the perfect bookend to the journey:

Chilli Garlic Noodles at Om Shanti Shanti Cafe (Rishikesh) – Perfect, comforting post-trek meal right by the water.

Shakshouka at Shambala Cafe – A must try if you are winding down in the city.

The Summit Push: The final ridge climb is a steep, exhausting grind, but standing at the top with a clear, massive view of Mt. Dronagiri makes every single step worth it.

Happy Travels! If anyone has questions about the current snow levels, gear requirements, or physical prep, drop a comment below and I'll gladly help out!
