Gupp Shupp @ Chai Shai — Restaurant in Ladakh

"Chai Shai" the name itself is catchy and instantly inviting! This was the very first place I had tea after arriving in Leh and it truly made a great first impression.

The quality of the food is excellent everything we tried was flavorful and fresh. My parents also enjoyed their meal a lot which made the experience even more special.

They also have an awesome Radha Krishna playlist, it’s so soothing to have your morning started with yummy breakfast and good music. The walls are painted beautifully and the place has a very chill vibe with people from different nationalities relishing pure vegetarian food.
