    The hostel is absolutely beautiful!! It's a bit further from the main road hurdled in nature which makes it a relief away from the busy city. Breakfast was made vegan for me and so delicious!!! Highly recommend.

    The host is amazing. It's really a home and not just any hostel. I wish I had more time to soak in all the nature vibes relaxing on the hammock, listening to distant crickets at night and chirping birds in the morning. Ranjith makes genuine...
