McLeodganj's Love Cafe spreads the message of universal love

By Hemanth Chauhan

Mcleodganj (Himachal Pradesh): A cafi in McLoedganj in Himachal Pradesh has developed itself into a love home. As tourists visiting the beauteous region from across the world have penned messages of love in more than 80 languages and stuck them on its walls. The JJI Cafe is a favourite haunt of many foreign tourists as well as locals in the picturesque hill town, the adopted home of Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama. Operated mainly by Neema and her husband for the last three years, the cozy cafe named as "Lovers' ChoiceCafe" is famous for its messages of love.

Gr8 Stuff! ....... ummm I hope the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) don't catch wind of it though .... might be a bit to red(no pun intended ) for them. Hate to see any shotgun weddings happen from such a good thing!

That cafe's a lovely place to hang out - you can "feel the love", they have great food and the staff are very friendly!
Myself and a couple of friends ended up there during a snow storm early last year - everyone sitting around the fire, drinking hot punch and enjoying the menu!

I am getting a sense of deja vu... Does anyone remember a thread where this cafe was discussed quite in depth.. Maybe about 12-18 months back ?

Question Where is it? .... exactly

Is anyone able to give me directions. In my walks around McG I haven't come across it. I may just be being very unobservant though directions would be great.

Thanks

P.S. As soon as I find it pictures will come!

Hey people.... JJI Cafe is one of the best places in lovely McLeodGanj.....
The Brothers are also quite a hit as they sometimes play live to a good number of audience..... I had the opportunity to catch them live and they were damn good.

JJI Cafe's on the Main Jogiwara road...... from the Bus stop just walk on jogiwara road and keep on looking to your right..... theres no way u can miss it. Its also somewhat opposite to Sunrise cafe.... the famous chaiwalla stall with Ramesh.

Please go everywhere in Mcleod..... a place not to be missed..... and if u find some employment opportunities for ME there, pm me......

Enjoy!

Question After a long time.

Hi,

Anyone?
