Rishikesh: As soon as the name of Rishikesh comes, the first images that come to mind are the banks of Ganga, yoga, spirituality and adventure, but very few people know that this city is also the real destination of the streets of taste. The food here is not just a means to fill the stomach but becomes a real memory of the journey. It is said that there are some famous stalls, dhabas and cafes here where even the travelers returning from exciting river rafting come first to eat food. Be it hot breakfast in the morning or café mood in the evening, Rishikesh is ready for every taste.
Morning starts with Pandit ji’s breakfast.
The taste journey of the city starts from the streets of Triveni Ghat. Here, early in the morning, the aroma of whole vegetables at Pandit ji’s breakfast shop draws you far away. This combination of mild spicy potato curry and crispy puri is so popular that there is a queue all the time. Annapurna Pandit ji’s chole rice located near here wins the hearts of hungry travelers. Without much spice and with a very homely taste, this food gives you a feeling of familiarity and simplicity.
