As relaxations start to ease in the mountain, this cafe breathes a new life as some of its favourite customers return to order their usual cuppas.

It’s often said that the journey is more important than the destination, and for this episode of #TnlAudioStories, we recount one such enriching adventure from the outskirts of Shimla to Jibhi. Being stranded alone in the mountains – that too when it’s your first time there – is not a rosy situation. The fear of an impending snowstorm only makes it worse. But, as we wait to hit the road again, isn’t it such adrenaline-pumping adventures that make for great travel tales?

An adventure replete with hiking trails, boating escapades, private islands, and the company of loved ones, this story is the quick pill you need to pick up your phones and plan your next outing.
