Rohtang Pass tea-and-Maggi stall's daily sales astonish internet

Content creator Harsh Chauhan posted an Instagram video of a conversation with a roadside Maggi and tea stall vendor at Rohtang Pass, Himachal Pradesh, India. The vendor said that in the off-season he sells about 60-70 plates of Maggi at Rs 100 each and about 200 cups of tea at Rs 40 each daily, plus a few egg orders. That adds up to roughly Rs 14,000-15,000 in daily turnover, about Rs 6,000-7,000 from Maggi and Rs 8,000 from tea. Some social media users pointed out that this is gross revenue, not profit, and that high-altitude weather, effort and transport costs matter. Chauhan suggested that turnover would be higher in peak tourist season and argued that no business is small. The Tribune India reported the story on November 2, 2026.
