Old Manali · 2,050 m · Kullu Valley
Live the mountains.
Taste the altitude.
A café and stay in Old Manali, tucked into the Kullu Valley at 2,050 m. Everything we serve is made with purely organic, local ingredients — no preservatives, ever. Slow coffee, wholesome food, and 4 village-style rooms with Himalayan views. Every cup helps fund trail care and local welfare.
Why we exist
A café that belongs to the mountain
LiveHimalayas began as a kettle on a ridge and a promise: that a good cup could help look after the trails, the animals and the people who make these hills home. We serve travellers and we serve the valley — the two are the same thing here.
Slow, single-origin coffee
Beans roasted in the valley, pulled by hand, best enjoyed with no hurry at all.
A trailhead with a kitchen
Right on the Beas Kund and Hampta Pass routes — fuel up, refill water, swap stories.
Remote-work friendly
Honest Wi-Fi, plug points and a long table for the laptops-and-mountains crowd.
Every cup gives back
Profits and your donations fund trail care, animal welfare and village projects.
