Chacha Chachi (Chandra Dhaba), Batal

This dhaba is on way from kaza to manali. One will rarely find any eatery on way between this route but thanks to this chacha chachi dhaba in batal , serving the amazing love , food , and helping the people in their journey. The couple is quite humble and hold good sense of humour. Serves variety of things from rice, partha , snacks , maggi etc. They also provide lodging. The couple had received various awards including one from president of India itself for the marvellous service to humankind in such hard terrain. Loved the place ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's a well known and popular place to halt while on your way to Chandrataal / Manali.

Chacha & Chachi is a life saver for the tourists stuck here during the winters or for any other reasons. There are several instances where they went out of the box and helped out the needy and have recieved several awards from govt for such bravery and help.

Both Chacha and Chachi is so humble, warm, welcoming and jolly in nature.

The food you get here at such a remote destination is exceptional and outstanding.

We ate breakfast while travelling from chandratal lake to manali. Nice food, made & served by so humble people. Loved it. ✌️

Excellent. The only place where you can have piping hot food after a long arduous journey. Selflessly serving hungry people at Batal for those who travel along the Losar - Gramphu road. Where temperatures are mostly sub zero to +10*C

One of the few options available if at Batal enroute Spiti from Manali. Served by an old couple and helped by their siblings. They served Rajma Chawal / Dal Chawal / Curry Chawal. Hot steaming and firewood cooked. The food is simple and wholesome. You will also get almost all kinds of non alcoholic beverages. Price for the food is approx Rs100 per plate.

The only hotel on the way to Chandeatal. A small hotel like a small hut. We have our lunch here with Rajma Chawla, Maggi, Tea.

I have never been more please then when I saw Chacha Chadhi ka Dhabha. We had left Chandratal Parking at 8pm, as there were no tents available to take for the night. Now it was a snow drive all the way in 1st gear and average speed of 10kmph, it was almost 9:15pm and we are famished. The dhaba was full. We got hot tea, then noodles with scrambled egg in it at around 9:30 and I think we were the last lot that was accepted by the owners. So for future reference I asked when do they close the dhaba, 9pm.

Chachi Chachi Dhaba is located between Kunzum Pass and Manali in Batal. This dhaba is in the middle of nowhere without any sign of life, network, any facilities and even road. All you can see here is Mountains covered under snow and a pathway of huge rocks right beneath you. At first glance it wasn't looking like any dhaba or restaurant, actually it was looking like a bunker. But the moment we stepped in my initial reaction was"Yaha Toh Mahfil Jami he" I was surprised to see a great and vibrant atmosphere in that dhaba there, it was fully packed with nearly 80 to 100 customers. That bunker lookalike dhaba had everything from food to energy drinks to biscuits and snacks etc. The food was really tasty especially the chutney with rajmah chawal. Since this is the only dhaba in the stretch of 90 km off-road I recommend you to eat here because the next destination where you will find any life or food will be 40 km Losar or 50 km manali area.
