Ladakh - one of those places, where you feel out of the world, in all sense. As magnificent as the experience might often be, it tends to sometimes feel too far from home, when one stays for a longer period. And this is when a place like The Indus River Camp, in Leh, makes all the difference, letting one feel at home despite the distance. Their restaurant in particular is the place to be, before a long ride on a Royal Enfield across the mighty passes on the Himalayas. They offer the chocolate-iest of chocolate pancakes, mouth watering Momos, crunchy toasted bread with a thick omlette on top, bowl full of juicy fruits, the best choice of Chai - all at the lap of the Himalayas alongside the majestic Indus. A location right out of a fantasy novel, offering sumptuous food with courteous staff, The Indus River Camp is our pick for the best restaurant for a breakfast with a view..
When : 8.00am to 10.00am
Cost : ~300 per person
The Cafe of Leela Raviz, Kovalam, is seated right at the edge of a cliff on the Arabian Sea. The restaurant offers some of the best views of sunset one could ever see (and moonset as well, if one wishes to stay awake all night). The breakfast here is the one with most options, of the three restaurants picked here. Welcoming a lot of foreign visitors, The Cafe offers a lot of bread options, to go with the numerous South Indian cuisines and the plethora of desserts. The friendly staff, the lovely setting by the sea with no one to disturb but the waves crashing on the rocks, tasteful recipes - all gives The Cafe at Leela Raviz the second spot..
When : 7.00am to 10.30am
Cost : ~900 per person
The Rainforest, located head-on the "Niagara of South India" - the Athirapally falls in Kerala, is one of the best boutique resorts in the country. The restaurant has a spectacular view of the facade of the waterfalls, and it is the place to be if one needs to witness the magnificence of the Athirapally falls, in all it's glory, in the midst of a monsoon. The breakfast includes a variety of South Indian delicacies, seemingly focused on the cultural heritage of the nativity. The staff are professional and ever willing to satisfy the needs of your taste buds. The Rainforest hence takes the bronze medal.
When : 7.30am to 10am
Cost : ~600 per person

While it is important to do something significant each day, it is a healthy and happy breakfast that sets the tone for a day, for the significant things to be done later. And when that breakfast happens to be at the top of the world, or at the edge of a cliff by the sea, or in front of a giant waterfall, could one ask for a better start to a day!
Here we look at our 3 picks for the best places to have breakfast at from our personal experience.
