A Taste of Tibet (And Italy!)
McLeod Ganj is famous for "Little Lhasa" vibes, but it's secretly an international food hub.
The Tibetan Staples
You can't leave without trying Thenthuk (hand-pulled noodle soup). Head to The Tibet Kitchen for the most authentic flavors.
The Cafe Scene
- Illiterati: Best for sunrise views and organic coffee.
- Jimmy's Italian: Famous for their thin-crust pizzas and Peach Tea.
- Woeser Bakery: Known for the best carrot cake and vegan brownies.
Pair your food crawl with a gentle forest walk to earn those extra momos.
