Only place in Kargil with working WiFi, good coffee, and people who know Ladakh like the back of their hands. Not just the peripheries, they've delved deep and if it's adventure you seek, they are the only help you need. They always lend their ears to any enquiry, big or small. I especially enjoyed some precious time rafting in the river Dras. If you are tired of meandering pointlessly in the maze of mystical streets, and of clicking pictures with Ladakhi children who trail you like a herd in the meadows, and of talking to the friendly fruitsellers, you can find some solitude at the cafe with a cup of Kahwa. And if that tires you, you can break bread with some of the fantastic travellers you're bound to run into at the cafe.
The cafe itself was a treasure trove of an amazing collection of books that kept me busy while I gorged on all the gorgeous Ladakhi food from the kitchen. The apricot shake and Azhoq deserve special mention methinks.
The only bad thing - is that you will hate yourself when you leave like I do! Thank you for everything you guys :)
This always will be my go to place in Ladakh now. Can't wait to get back!
