In fact some say the lyrics of this song were thought and written here. So you can have some glimpse of this Cafe from the video. There are some very creative paintings .

Read moreDuring my trek to Bhagsu Waterfall, I stumbled upon Shiva Café, and instantly felt like I’d found a hidden sanctuary in the Himalayan mist.
Climbing the final stretch (about 150 m uphill from the falls) does take a bit of effort, but when you reach that stone-walled café, the world opens up. The sound of rushing water, the pine-scented mountain air, and the lively murals of Lord Shiva and Bob Marley bring a magical, laid-back energy .
Inside, you’ll find mismatched cushions, low wooden tables, vibrant graffiti, and a soundtrack that’s as eclectic as the crowd—a mix of spirited travelers, locals, and fellow dreamers. Outdoor seating offers a panoramic view of the waterfall below and the sprawling valley beyond—an absolutely serene spot to pause .
The menu is a savory surprise: farmhouse pizza, pesto pasta, banana pancakes, ginger-honey-lemon tea, hot coffee, masala chai—and even hookah for those craving that bohemian touch . Prices hover around ₹400–600 for two, which feels fair given the setting.
What makes Shiva Café special isn’t just the food or view—it’s the vibe. It’s that perfect nexus of adventure and chill: a place to catch your breath, sip something warm, and let nature’s rhythm reboot your soul before...
Read moreIt was a trip to Mcleodganj with my friends to explore triund trek before heading towards triund we decided to take a glimpse of Bhagsunag Waterfall which itself is a small trek to reach there.
But to my surprise i heard about shiva cafe 70m above waterfall so we finally decided to have some sippin and munchin i was amazed to see this jaw dropping beautiful cafe surrounded by all lush green mountains and as the name suggest image of shiva at the front making it look more peaceful and relaxed.
The cafe offers a much needed resting place where you can sit in peace and enjoy your hot coffee and flavoursome food. We tried spring rolls, pizza and chicken burger trust me friends it was amazingly delicious. I can never expect something like this on top of the mountains. It was worth it visiting bhagsunag and then further trekking towards shiva cafe.
I could see no one wanted to sit inside the cafe although it was beautiful inside with eye catchy decor but everyone wanted to sit in natures lap and spend some moments of peace.
Must visit place if you are...
