Incredible location with an unparalleled mountain view. Hanging out on the hostel’s rooftop terrace is pure joy. Everything is clean and tidy, the staff is warm, welcoming, and helpful with anything you need. The kitchen offers a great variety of delicious meals for great prices. One of the highlights of my trip to India so far, hard place to leave.

Everything is top Notch. There is nothing which you can't find in the entire McLeod or Dharamkot. Rather you will find such peaceful trails and secluded spots which are now rare. The food, hospitality and a personal sense of community living is an experience which is priceless I feel.

I recently stayed at this hostel and had a fantastic experience. The highlight for me was the breathtaking sunset views from the hostel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The presence of a café on-site was convenient and added to the overall charm of the place. While it's worth mentioning that there's a bit of an uphill trek to reach the hostel, the views and hospitality more than make up for it. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a memorable stay with great vibes.

Position: quiet area, surrounded by trees, at a short walk distance from Dharamkot and Bhagsu (if you know the shortcuts!); People: the staff was nice and efficient. Most guests were easy going, well-behaved and nice to be around and talk to. Food: they have a large menu of food (indian and international) available at any time if the day, ideal if you want to chill and eat something without going to Dharamkot or Bhagsu. Food quality, price and and portion size was in line with most cafes and restaurants in the area

The location is perfect. Easy to reach upper dharamkot, a lot of thing happening around Bhaggsu, Mcleod ganj not so far away. Rooms are nice, people there are helpful. Also- it is a perfect place to meet other like minded travellers. Feels like home away from home.

All hostels in Dharamshala

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.

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!

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.
