Located in McLeod Ganj, 6.4 km from HPCA Stadium, Live Free Hostel, Mcleodganj provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. The accommodation features karaoke and room service.

Location is awesome, very close to the Dalai Lama temple, but property is facing the quiet side of the street, so you don’t get the noise from busy temple road. Easily for me to visit temple and kora walk everyday. The female dorm I was in was spacious and clean, they’ll come and clean everyday and make sure we are all comfortable. Staffs have been super friendly and helpful. There is rooftop area you can chill and hangout with people from the hostel. I got too comfy, I only booked for one night but ended up staying for five nights.

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a balcony with a mountain view. Mitra Hostel Mcleodganj offers some rooms that have city views, and rooms are equipped with a private bathroom with a shower. The rooms feature a safety deposit box.

When I arrived to Mitra Hostel I got sick, so I ended up spending multiples days there resting and getting better. I got so lucky to be sick in this Hostel. The Owner and the Staff are so kind and brought me food to the room and checked via WhatsApp if I need anything or if they can do anything for me. Thank You so much Guys!! Met some really lovely people there too. Just a great Hostel with a good vibe and even better people. Hope to visit sometime again!

Located in McLeod Ganj, Himachal Pradesh region, Moustache Mcleodganj is set 8.9 km from HPCA Stadium. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel provides a terrace and a 24-hour front desk.

We were looking for that hostel vibe and we found a premium version of it. At first we booked 2 nights and we ended up staying for a week. And this was mostly because of Nishant. He makes you feel like you are at home and he helps with everything there. You really feel like you have a friend there that you can count on 😊. The beds are comfy and even though it might get a bit cold you receive some very fluffy blankets which keep you very warm during the night. Plus given that the location is in the mountains, you get all that fresh air and beautiful scenery.

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.

    - Nish (hotel owner) works hard to give the hostel a warm, welcoming community feel. - Almost daily communal meals in the evening, great way to meet new people and other travellers - Excellent location in Bhagsu, away from the noise of Dharamshala and McLeod but close enough that you can still visit on day trips. - The atmosphere of the hostel is lovely and by the end of your stay you’ll be asking Nish for ‘one more night’!

    I loved how caring and available the staff was! Thanks to Abu & Neema for their constant help. The hostel was cozy, comfortable, and super budget friendly for my three day stay at Mcleodganj! Definitely recommended if you're tight on budget and also want a super comfy bed -- not to mention with an opportunity to meet travellers from across the world!
