Kaustubh Dalvi and Greeshma Soley are a passionate travel couple from Mumbai. Little did they know that after visiting Ladakh, they would be completely spellbound by it and decide to open a stay for travellers. They planned on shifting completely to Leh but instead went with the idea of Rovers’ Den and they haven’t looked back from it. That was six years ago and now Rovers’ Den is always packed with tourists to enjoy stay and Maharashtrian food here.

The mere thought and availability of authentic Maharashtrian food in the mountains of Leh are enough to make travellers coming to Ladakh, choose Rovers’ Den and its restaurant named Khanaval. it’s fair only cause you wouldn’t want to feel homesick.

Over time, even locals got intrigued and they started taking limited orders for Maharashtrian food. Word spread about this unique and soul-satisfying venture and they were contacted by Brihanmumbai Maharashtra Mandal which is a community of Maharastrians.
They wanted to know about the food being served here. They then spread positive messages regarding Rovers’ Den and its initiative. Since then the place has been flocking with Maharashtrians.
