I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Special mention to Minal, Kuldeep and Vandana. Planning to come back here again Cheers!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a breathtaking hostel that exceeded all my expectations. Nestled amidst majestic mountains, this hidden gem provided an unforgettable experience filled with mesmerizing views, live music, a cozy bonfire, and exhilarating rafting adventures. Added advantage: Hosts are the best guide and will give possible advice for your trip. If you haven't tried any dormitory you must. If you have tried any other dormitory stay, I would say it's better!

Whoopers team has always been friendly, patient and helpful. That impressed me the most. No matter what time of day or night, you could turn to them with all your concerns. On my next stays, I will definitely check into whoopers again. The price performance ratio is very good.

    Perfect location with amazing views over the mountains, clean and spacious rooms, amazing home cooked food, 360° rooftop views, and fun social vibes. The staff are all very friendly, helpful, and kind - and as a solo female traveller they made me feel super safe and comfortable here.
