An Indian restaurant and a children’s museum in Mumbai made it to Time’s list of the world’s greatest places, the US-based magazine said.
The list was curated by an expert panel, selecting from reviewed nominations of hotels, restaurants, museums, and parks.
Among the places that made the list was the isolated hotel White Desert, a calming site surrounded by the Antarctic wilderness, often dubbed by many as the first and only hotel in Antarctica.
Also on the list are “the lungs of Africa”, or the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, in the Republic of the Congo. The Maui Cultural Lands of Lahaina, Hawaii also make an appearance, along with the Moroccan Culinary Arts Museum, Turkey’s sightseeing train the Diyarbakir Express, and Tokyo’s teamLab Borderless Digital Art Museum.
Here are the exciting Indian spots that made it to the list:
Manam Chocolate:
This Hyderabadi outfit was dubbed by the magazine as “the future of Indian craft chocolate.”
Manam, according to Time, is elevating Indian cacao to the international stage by collaborating with farmers and fermenters in Andhra Pradesh.
The chocolatier shared the news on Instagram.
“We launched Manam Chocolate a little under a year ago with the mission to offer a distinct new craft chocolate experience by Indians, for India and the world. We are honored and humbled to be recognized on a list with global prestige, so early in our journey,” they wrote.

Naar:
After successful runs through the world’s best restaurants and introducing Michelin-style dining to Mumbai with his restaurant Masque, chef Prateek Sadhu took a step back to create a life (and a business) in the hills.
His restaurant Naar, which means “fire” in Kashmiri, presents a unique selection of Himalayan food, and is nestled in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.
“I could have easily done it in Bombay or Delhi. But I’m building more than just a restaurant. I’m telling the stories of the Himalayas,” Sadhu told Time.
Museum of Solutions
Located in Mumbai, the Museum of Solutions is a 100,000 sq. feet compound, where kids aged 2-17 can explore interactive labs teaching math, physics, art, and tackle real-world challenges like pollution and climate change.
The space is divided into eight sections that target different wants and needs of a child, whether they want to grow, read, engage, make, grow, etc.
“We are unique in the world because of the amount of importance we place on children’s voices,” founder Tanvi Jindal Shete told Time.
“Even while designing the museum, we had a panel of children aged 10 to 14 who gave us a lot of advice on the direction that we should go,” she added.
