This was my second time staying at hosteller Kareri. Architecture, location, views and services are top notch. The property is beautiful! The dorm beds were super comfortable, too, and the common areas are really nice. Loved everything I ate, too. The banana Nutella pancakes are amazing! Staff, too, is very cooperative.

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.

    We spent a few days at Thrillomania and were pleasantly surprised by the kindest of the staff. We spent some time with Rajesh who was so kind, he helped us with anything we needed help with and guided us with things to do in Dharamashala. The hostels in a great location, with a short walk into each 3 different areas of Dharamashala, which was great for us. Definitely would recommend this hostel if you’re coming to Dharamashala!

    Such great location in McCleod Ganj, lots of amazing restaurants, shops, bars nearby! Very lovely receptionists, super helpful with helping us booking taxis to places (e.g. the bus station), sorting out cheap laundry, and just very approachable and friendly! Rooms are spacious with a TV which is great for linking up our laptops to watch Netflix/Disney+ using the HDMI cable! WiFi was great and bed and pillows were really comfy! Shower’s nice and hot and bathroom very clean!

    The very friendly owner Raj did everything to make the stay pleasant. The best accommodation in Bhagsu. Great location, close to all shops and restaurants. Great big balcony to relax. Quiet location, clean rooms, hot shower and comfortable bed. Felt like at home. Absolutely recommendable. Laundry was also very quick and cheap.

    This is the perfect hostel to stay. I fully enjoyed my time there. Big thanks for management. They were not only friendly but also caring. As a solo girl traveler, I felt very safe and like at home. The common area is very comfy and cozy, we watched movies, played games and overall had a lot of fun. The food was very tasty, and you will have enough options. The room and bed were clean and pretty well designed. You can always meet new people and make some new friends. Good people and good travelers community are there.
