If there\u2019s one habit to adopt on these trips: slow down. Order something local, take the terrace seat and let the mountains do the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Banner Image Credit:  <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@afghani_sardar\">Abhishek Singh<\/a> via Unsplash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mountains, fresh air and a hot cup of something &#8211; that\u2019s the recipe for a perfect caf\u00e9 stop in the Himalayas.
