Adil India

This hostel was wonderful! Close to a lot of great shops and cafes. We liked being in Northern Rishikesh, a little bit away from the craziness of central Rishikesh. I took a yoga class with Akash at the hostel and it was the best yoga class I had in all of India! I learned a lot from him about how to improve my postures and the background of the practice. Akash also helped us to find a local cooking class where we made a tikka dish, Chapati, and Bahrata. We’re excited to bring these recipes home to family!

This was my first stay at a hostel ever and i was truly surprised by how safe and smooth the entire stay was. The check-in at the reception was quick and the rooms were very comfortable and neat.The facilities in the hostel added to it. They have a very nice cafe that serves good food and some live music performances that added to the entire vibe of the place too. For a solo woman traveller safety is of utmost importance and that is something live free ensured too. Will definitely come back and stay here the next time I visit rishikesh.
