THE PLACE / THE FEELING

Some journeys
stay with you.

The green hills, a pause for chai, something sweet saved for the road. Lonavala is more than a place on a map; for many people, it is tied to the little things they bring home.

National’s connection to the town is part of its character. From the familiar crunch of chikki to fudge and savoury namkeen, the range gives that connection more than one flavour.

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
A STORY WORTH TELLING

A little chikki.
A very big ambition.

National’s journal shares the journey of crafting what it calls the world’s longest chikki, in a story connected to the Limca Book of Records. It is a memorable chapter in a much longer relationship with the town and its signature sweet.
