Meanwhile, the price of tomatoes in Uttarkashi is at the level of Rs 180-200.

With this, the price of food from the hotel has also increased. From October 2022, the prices of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals showed a downward trend. But in the months of May and June, the increase in hotel food prices is evident. A report by market analysis agency Crisil points out that the rise in tomato prices has also led to the rise in food prices. Along with this, the high price of some pulses is also a negative factor.
