Laxman Jhula Road, Near Anand dham, Tapovan, Tehri Garhwal Welcome Hotel Location, 439192 Rishīkesh, India –

*8.8* Laxman Jhula: only 6 minutes away! (1,600 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Live Free Hostel – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great hostel with a nice ambience. Spacious room and bathroom. Rooftop to meditate, do yoga or exercise. Nice common areas. The staff was always helpful and really polite. Also amazing location near the Bridge.

Fabio, Brazil

This hostel has a nice vibe and seems to attract a wide range of people! The staff is so considerate and helpful, and they offer perks like free dinner one night a week, a movie night each week, and complimentary chai every evening. The food they offer is also very good! I stayed in the lower floor dorms. The rooms were one of the cheapest I could find, though it is a bit cold in Feb and there an no windows. They were happy to give me an extra blanket at no charge so I was plenty warm at night. Also the water is super hot and they had above head ‘waterfall’ style showers which I really enjoy. I will come back to Live Free next time I come to Rishikesh. It has been a nice experience and one of the most affordable places to stay in Laxman Jhula :)

Michael, United States of America

Staffs are very kind, good location and comfortable bed. Good time in Rishikesh.

Jb, Vietnam

The staff is super great, friendly,helpful, and available. And they layout of the hostel itself is perfect, tons of open space for day and night time hangs. Makes it the best place to hangout in rishekesh, hands down. And there is a RO machine right in the common area (a must) and the free meal on Tuesday is GREAT
