"Experienced best in winter, NAAR (meaning fire) is a 16-seat, pilgrimage-like destination above Darwa village where a bonfire, an open kitchen and a fireplace set the stage for Himalayan, seasonal plates—cured trout with smoky eggplant and raw mango cactus broth, fiddlehead ferns in patande pancakes, and uses of hisalu berries, timru peppercorns and sun-dried forest herbs—crafted by Prateek Sadhu and Kamlesh Negi to turn destination dining into a vivid regional journey." - Karina Acharya
