Dada & Bodi Tandoori Tea Stall
Stop for chai at Dada & Bodi Tandoori Tea Stall. It opens early, so you can grab a hot drink and settle in before the crowd arrives.
16:45
Walk to Kalka Mandir. The temple is open and the marble surfaces will be glowing in the late afternoon sun. Find a spot on the verandah to watch the light shift.
17:45
Stay for sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the brick and marble structure. The atmosphere shifts as the day ends.
18:30
Head to Sona Dhaba for dinner. It is a short walk away and serves Punjabi food. The kitchen is open late, so you can eat your fill after the temple visit.
Local tip
The temple rituals run at 5AM and 7:30PM. If you stay past 7:30PM, you might catch the evening Aarti, but the main draw here is the golden light before dark. Sona Dhaba is open until 23:00, giving you plenty of time to eat and relax.
