India’s Last Cafe: Gorgeous Pit Stop enroute Lamang, Arunachal Pradesh
If you are headed towards Arunachal Pradesh’s Lamang – the unknown snow covered paradise of India, you should definitely know about this gorgeous pit stop. Referred to as India’s last cafe, this eatery joint is the last place to find something to eat and drink before you head deeper into the army camps and into Lamang, the last place where civilians are allowed and before the actual line of control on the Indo – China border.
Located by the Jang Bahadur waterfall amidst the pine forests and surrounded by the tall mountains of the Himalayas, this last cafe of India offers the perfect environment for a hot cup of coffee/tea/chocolate milk with some cookies and/or cake. First, the cool weather makes you ache for something warm and sweet and what better than a hot cup of mocha and some fresh cake to satiate this hunger.
Second, India’s last cafe offers not just a stunning view of pristine nature, but it also allows you to indulge in its many sounds. During the rainy and the summer seasons, you can hear the waterfall thundering in front of you while you sip on your drink and drown away all your worries. And during the winter season when the water flow reduces, you can hear the many birds chirping in the forest.
This place is a hot favourite with visitors for taking selfies and photographs. Nature lovers and bird watchers can keep refilling their coffee cups and just immerse themselves in nature’s divine bounty. And people who are simply hungry can indulge in a quick snack while enjoying the picturesque location.
However, if the light food and beverages served here are not enough for you, I would recommend that you head down to the Gurudwara Shri Tapo Ashtan Sahib for some hearty meals served at their langar. Even this place enjoys a fabulous location and is surrounded by many flowering trees too. Both these places are fantastic locations to grab a bite on your return road trip from Mechuka to Lamang. I really enjoyed both these places personally and both of them offer the perfect environment to walk and burn off all those calories that you will end up indulging in at these places.
