Harsh weather, kind hearts and warm smiles – Dorje chacha and Chandra chachi’s dhaba at Batal, in Lahaul & Spiti.
The settlement is in middle of nowhere, with striking beauty and harsh weather at the same time. The Batal dhaba or chacha-chachi’s dhaba is a well-known spot because of a heart-warming backstory – a story of a snow-storm, and how a large group that was stuck but remained safe at chacha-chachi’s dhaba for days before the rescue team arrived; detailed story can be looked up on internet – yes, it made it to travel news & blogs.


I have quiet a few memories from riding days staying at their place. Windy and so Rough.
