Stops Varanasi
Choose from a range of accommodation that starts from a double occupancy ensuite and stretches all the way to tents with shared Douglas Adams-themed toilets. It seems to attract all the best people, or maybe it’s just the atmosphere. Either way, you’ll make great friends here.

Not just your average clean sheets and complimentary breakfast, the Moustache hostels pack a wholloping punch of character. Bright colours, mirror-work, embroidered parasols and upcycled furniture make this entire building a photo-op. They’ve inhaled Japiur and expressed it on their walls.

The best of Rajasthani architecture and craft comes together to furnish this palace with locally sourced and lovingly carved wooden beds and colourful dhurries to keep the dust at bay. The location isn’t as convenient as we’d like but the sheer beauty makes up for it.

Bright, clean and cosy, this hostel boasts a gently lit indoor pool and a wonderfully cushion-strewn rooftop restaurant. This is easily one of the more luxurious properties in the hostel category.

A budget hotel with dorms, definitely the best place to stay in Rishikesh. The view from the rooftop stretches across the city all the way to the Ganga. Nitin, the owner, is a wonderful human being who has shown us care and friendship well beyond the line of duty.
