By morning Almora is a vibrant hub of culture, tourism, meditation, and devotion. The Pahadis are adapted to waking up really early in the morning to get all their work done and relax their time away by night time. As a matter of tradition, the local folks make it a point to retire back to their homes by sundown along with their pets and other animals that they may own. However, if you are someone who tends to enjoy the nighttime more than the daytime, this big city has many options available for you. Almora is a very popular tourist destination in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and catering to tourists from across the world needs you to determine all aspects of travel, including interesting nighttime activities. Here are some cafes in Almora where you can relax in the dark moonlit night and some activities that will wash you over with a calming sense of peace which will guarantee a deep and good night’s sleep.
Alhito Café
Alhito cafe is a Kumaoni styled place to relax, have some good food, meet new people, and if you like it then even stay there for a couple of days. The cafe is also a part of the resort which is all about showcasing and preserving the rich Kumaoni and Uttarakhandi culture. Located in the magical hills of Kasar Devi, Alhito literally means ‘let’s go’ and the concept is centred around the concept that the place is not about meeting other people but themselves. The cafe is one of those rare places throughout the day where you can enjoy the panoramic views while warming up by the bonfire as the sun fades into darkness.
Baba Cake
