Just beyond the boardwalk trails of Changyul Park, where the Wang Chhu flows gently past willow trees and prayer flags flutter in the breeze, you'll find River Side Garuda—a tranquil space that invites you to pause and savour the moment.
With its elevated terrace and timber-framed charm, the café-bar offers sweeping views of the river and distant hills. It's the kind of place where time softens—where afternoon light settles across your table, and the quiet hum of the water becomes part of the experience.
Whether you choose a steaming herbal tea, a smooth Hot Toddy, or something more spirited, each drink feels intentional—crafted to complement the landscape rather than distract from it. The setting is warm and unhurried, with rustic seating and soft lighting that make it equally inviting by day or dusk.
Popular with locals and travellers alike, it's perfect for a reflective solo break, a slow catch-up with friends, or a casual toast as the sun drops behind the valley rim. While the city continues nearby, River Side Garuda offers a quiet escape—one that feels as natural as the river itself.
