Nitya Cafe is definitely worth a visit due to its unique location in the foothills of the Himalayas. The serene and quiet surroundings are worth the short 15 minute walk that needs to be taken from the gate security post to the cafe.
They do have most amenities on site but do leave a bit more to be desired for which the adjacent cafe seems to do the job.
Nevertheless, both have their unique selling points and are a must try for nature lovers.
An absolute gem at the base of the mountain. This should be a visiting attraction of Palampur on its own. You do a short hike from the hydro power project, cross the river and you arrive. It’s the highest (semi civilized) point in palampur, from where the trek to the waterfalls start. We went for a late hike to the waterfall and then came here to rest and eat pizzas.
It’s kind of a sports cafe or trekker’s retreat sorrounded by mountains. The cafe has a lot of open space , so you can enjoy the mountain breeze, chill in a hammock, drink a nice smoothie and admire the dhauladhar ranges and if you don’t feel like walking back to your place you can do a night halt here CAMPING!. Stay and food prices are quite reasonable if you are on a budget trip. You can also enquire here for treks across Himachal Pradesh.
Best time to go for me is sometime before sunset so you can watch the snow capped mountains turn orange as the sun sets!
The vibe/atmosphere is fabulous... The food is average not bad the view from there is mesmerizing, a must visit cafe with friends or alone if you want some alone time and peace. Just a reminder: there is a 10-15 mins hike prefer shoes not heels
