The shop was set up by Chander Singh Badwal, 25 years ago and over the years became an attraction for the locals and the tourists as a tea stall which is true to its name. People visiting the shop love to eat Maggi and enjoy their tea, while being close to the China border.</p>

It is believed that the village of Mana is connected to Mahabharata as it is said that the Pandavas started their ascension to heaven from here.</p>

Industrialist Anand Mahindra sharing a picture of the shop in his Twitter wrote: "One of the best selfie spots in India? An unmatchable slogan: “Hindustan ki Antim Dukan.” A cup of tea there is priceless."</p>
