Annapurna Pan & Lodge

Annapurna Pan & Lodge is on Sasan Road in Mendarda. It’s a basic place really. We have some rooms for people passing through to Sasan or just visiting Junagadh. It’s nothing fancy, just a spot to sleep and get some pan. My family has been around this area for a while. We know the roads and the local spots. Sometimes it gets busy when tourists head towards the lions, but mostly it's just regular folks stopping by. The building is right there on the road, easy to find if you're coming from the main part of town. We keep things simple. There’s a small shop in the front where we sell pan and other small things people need for their journey. People stop, talk for a bit, and move on. The rooms are plain, just what you need for a night. We don’t have a big staff or anything, just a few of us making sure everything is okay. It can be a bit noisy because of the traffic on Sasan Road, but that’s just how it is here. We try to keep the place clean, though it's an old building. If you’re looking for a luxury hotel, this isn't it. But if you want a place to rest your head or a quick bit of pan before you keep driving, we are here. Most of our regulars are drivers or local workers who know us by name. It’s a small business, run by locals. We've seen a lot of changes on this road over the years, but we stay the same. It's just home for us.
