Kootenays Taste of India now in Trail!
**** A welcome new addition to our historic “gulch” neighborhood is this amazing Indian Food restaurant, less than a 5 minute walk from Bernie’s! We used to have to drive to Castlegar for food this good!
And , if you’re headed that way: It's a little bit of a drive,(25 mins to Castlegar) but totally worth it for their generous portions and absolutely delicious food! A must for any Indian food lover out there!

A most beloved spot amongst locals and visitors to the Kootenays! These pools of naturally hot mineral water soothe your muscles and your mind while you look out across the main body of Kootenay lake. The best part: the super cool (actually quite HOT) caves!!
