On August 23, 2025, the Indian Army opened the doors to ‘Mayudia Cafe,’ a small space in the high Himalayas that offers warmth in every sense of the word.

Built by 10 Mahar and 12 Engineers, this cafe will serve as a warm haven for civilians and jawans, blending comfort with the charm of the Himalayas.

Special thanks to GOC 2nd Mtn Div Maj Gen V.S. Deshpande for presiding over the inauguration virtually and to all dignitaries and locals who graced the occasion.

And also thanks to our soldiers, who stand watch on cold nights and still find time to make life better for others.

To everyone traveling along the Roing–Hunli road: stop by Mayudia. Enjoy the view. Have a cup of tea. And remember the spirit that made this possible:
