Eating and staying in Himachal Pradesh
2,224 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels across 421 towns and suburbs in Himachal Pradesh.
Himachal Pradesh accounts for 3% of every venue we hold in New Zealand, which makes it the 11th-largest of the 36 regions by venue count. Those 2,224 venues sit across 421 named towns and suburbs, of which 13 carry at least 40 venues and get a page of their own.
Distribution inside the region is relatively even: Shanti Cafe (144), Manali (128) and Haini (93) hold 16% of everything between them. The remaining 408 places average 3.1 venues each — a long tail of small settlements that we list on the nearest town page rather than give an empty page to.
The regional split runs 47% eating to 65% accommodation, against a national 66/34. That is a markedly higher share of accommodation than the country as a whole — the mark of a region that hosts visitors rather than only feeding residents.
252 venues in Himachal Pradesh carry a cuisine tag. Measured against the national mix, the region over-indexes on tibetan (8), noodles (5) and local (12).
Data quality varies by region and it is worth knowing where this one stands: 144 venues here publish opening hours (6% against 8% nationally), 129 list a website, and 24 record step-free access. Everything on this site comes from open data, so coverage reflects what mappers and councils have published — not what exists on the ground.
