The Meghna Hotel, Chandak Pithoragarh

There is a famous restaurant in Chandak which is popular for the 360 panoramic views of the city Pithoragarh ‘Meghna Restaurant”.  If you want to see the whole city from one place, you can’t miss Meghna Restaurant at any cost. Though the quality and variety of food here is average but the breathtaking view from the lobby of this restaurant is worth the money you’ll pay. A two-wheeler ride from main Pithoragarh city to Chandak is a traveler’s paradise; fresh cold air with a beautiful view of the city makes it the most popular tourist place in Pithoragarh.
