Let’s be real — Bir is full of cool cafes and paragliding spots. But if you’re craving something offbeat, peaceful, and a little magical, let me introduce you to a place that’s not even on most maps — Bari Cafe.

It’s just 3 km from the Bir Bus Stand, but don’t expect Google Maps to lead you there easily. Start from Siddu Point and take the scenic road less traveled. You’ll pass five temples on the way — like a blessing checkpoint before you arrive at this 250-year-old wonder.

Worried you’ll get lost? No stress. Just hit up Tripti Cafe in Bir—they’ll hook you up with a local guide for ₹150–200 per person. They are super chill and super helpful, and they know all the shortcuts (and the photo spots).

What’s so special about Bari Cafe?
It’s not your typical “Instagram cafe.” This place is built from mud and history — yep, literally. Over 250 years old, it’s earthy, cozy, and oozes old-school Himachali charm.

There’s no crowd. No loud music. Just you, the hills, and a whole lot of peace.

What is the best time to go? Golden hour. Trust me, the sunsets here slap.

What to order (because food = love):

  • Stuffed Mushrooms
  • Honey Ginger Lemon Tea

Budget Stay: Park Homestay
Just a short distance away is Park Homestay, a clean, cozy, and affordable place to stay.

Room rates: ₹600, ₹800, ₹1000
What you get: Friendly hosts, hot showers, WiFi, an amazing cafe and quiet mountain mornings.

It’s ideal for backpackers, solo travelers, or anyone who prefers soulful stays over fancy hotels.

Bari Cafe isn’t just a cafe — it’s a feeling. Go for the sunset; stay for the silence. And if you want a little help getting there, just ask Tripti Cafe. Some places are meant to be found slowly — this is one of them.
