Frankly speaking in India no mineral water is upto the mark, except some foreign brands like evian etc. Whenever I am in India my best is always Himalayan, just because of its purity and taste. When you take a sip you will feel like having coconut water. The taste is really amazing. About purity for me it is purer than all other available local brands. There is no locally made mineral water which can take place of Himalayan. It has its own standard and taste. I will say totally unique in taste in terms of mineral water. Very rich in mineral contains too. I highly appreciate manufacturers effort to give us a good product. Although it is higher in price than other local brands....but good things always come at a price.
