Raybo Hostel in Leh provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 2.5 km from Shanti Stupa, the hostel with free WiFi is also 700 metres away from Soma Gompa. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk.

The ambiance and location of the hostel is by far one of the best that I’ve had in India. Leh Ladakh is so calm and peaceful, the Himalayan Mountains always only a few steps to the rooftop for an incredible view. The management is very conscientious about all of the guests and genuinely treats everyone like family. The facility feels almost new, the beds are comfy and the dorms are airy and sunny thanks to the windows that offer views similar to being on the rooftop. There is breakfast every morning (included) and a nice kitchen gathering space where everyone socially meets to hear about the best things to do in Leh Ladakh and share stories of all that has been done and discovered. The walk to the city center is a little bit of a distance compared to some properties that might be closer to the bustle of center, but the peace that the property offers to the quality of the travelers that stay here are all amazing, united in their passion for the area and travel. The hostel also offers meal ordering, of which the food is very nice and even accommodates some food prep requests. All in all, it’s very hard to leave a place that feels as good as this place. Highly recommended!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Rainbow Hostelier gives you good rooms with option of Bunk Beds or Private rooms. Rooms are decent with running Hot Water, Wi - Fi and Drinking Water available. The staff is really friendly and helpful especially in their eating area on the Terrace where Anshumann and Anshul cater to your needs. On Saturday, we also partaked in Barbeque night with Live music which was a good experience. The Bonus is the location which is just 10 mins walk from Leh Market. Definitely recommend the place.

    Milam Hostel was a great choice for my stay in Leh. Centrally located, just a few meters from the main market and Leh Palace. Plenty of restaurants, bike rentals & bus stand are in walking distance. The dormitory is spacious with lockers. The beds are very comfty, personal powerplugs next to it and clean bathrooms. Highly recommended while staying in Leh!

    Great location, clean rooms and extremely helpful staff - especially C.A. who took care of us helping with the altitude sickness and provided advice/assistance with booking our trips to Nubra and Pangong. The whole experience was more than just a couple of nights in the hotel - it was much broader and the entire stay in Leh was better, safer and cheaper thanks to the support we've received. Highly recommend - in fact our friends are coming there next month!
