A Den By The River Open To Host Wild Minds
We’ve started this Earthling’s Backpacker Den in the Tirthan Valley with a river by the side to teach us never to remain stuck and keep finding the way forward. Living by the river, one has to come out to know if it’s not raining. Being indoors, it always sounds like it is.
Dining
We serve all kind of dishes from around the world. Basically, if you give us the recipe and we are able to find all the ingredients around, our cook can prepare it. Our personal favorites are – sandwiches, burgers, pasta, pizza, MOMOS, noodles and wraps like burrito and falafel, to name a few. Another best part is he usually stays the night at den, so you can be served food as early as 8am and as late as 10pm.
Make A Reservation
We love to meet up with fellow travelers and explore areas together. The adventure is not only about the area you are checking out, but the people you are checking it out with.
