This charming cafe transcends the ordinary, offering visitors not just a meal but a sensory experience infused with the natural beauty of the Himalayan landscape.

At Project Escape, the ambiance is as much a part of the allure as the delightful offerings on the menu. Picture yourself sitting outside, surrounded by towering mountains and lush greenery, with the gentle breeze rustling the leaves as you sip on your favorite beverage. The atmosphere here is relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure or simply revel in the tranquility of nature.

The cafe is cherished by locals and travelers alike, evident from glowing reviews from patrons. Garg Anshu raves, "I love this place... Best food at this height in the Mountains." Indeed, Project Escape serves an array of dishes that showcase home-cooked flavors and comfort food, designed to warm your heart and soul.

Sankalp Sharma describes the cafe as a "Beautiful mountain retreat," highlighting the friendly hosts and the many snack options available. The pet-friendly environment allows you to savor your food while enjoying the company of your furry friends. And if you’re lucky, you might find yourself sharing a meal while the snow gently falls around you, as recalled by Roshan Velpula, who felt blessed during a snow-filled visit.

One of the standout experiences at Project Escape is the nightlife. Under a canopy of stars, you can indulge in evenings spent around a cozy bonfire, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Chef Chetan Dwivedi encapsulates this perfectly, noting the charm of the stars and warmth the nearby fire provides—an ideal setting for camaraderie and stories.

For those searching for a connection to nature, Akash Kashyap eloquently expresses the essence of Shilha village, stating, "Never felt so close to nature and myself before." Project Escape embodies this very spirit, offering a sanctuary away from the commercialization of other areas in the valley, allowing you to breathe deeply and truly appreciate the natural beauty surrounding you.

I've been to many places! But in shilha , project escape is worth visiting , The nightlife of here under the sky and charming stars and with beautiful bonfire will not only warm up your body but also it will create many beautiful and unforgettable memories. It's a hidden gem in parvati valley ! We stayed in project escape almost 5 days and every day is different you didn't feel like that you're 2000metre above, you'll get all the amenities, the hospitality they're doing is awesome! I met Saman who is founder of project escape, he told me how he ran away from city left his job and started his Own. ! I highly recommend you to stay in project escape if you really wanna experience staying somewhere in middle of mountain. !
