Zostel

A pioneer of the new-age travel culture in India, Zostel is also the world's largest backpacker hostel chain. Stay with us at 60+ destinations across India and Nepal, exploring remote locations, remote parts of famous locations, and unconventional experiences on your holiday. Our range of accommodation includes social backpacker hostels, cultural and private Zostel Homes, and luxurious Zostel Plus stays.

Forget pretentious accommodation
Zostel curves away from monotonous accommodation, enabling you to enjoy a happening stay with like-minded travellers. Common rooms are the beating heart of all Zostel properties, where travellers socialise, play games, indulge in activities, and make outdoor travel plans. The Zostel vibe is apt for solo travellers, small groups of friends, and couples alike.

For backpackers, families, and everyone else
Our accommodation categories include Zostel hostels, Zostel Homes, and Zostel Plus properties. Our hostels are lively backpacker stays with an exquisite social experience meant for adults (solo travellers, small groups, and couples but not families). On the other hand, Zostel Homes, our homestays, lodges, and special properties welcome one and all to experience nature and regional traditions. Finally, we have Zostel Plus for a luxurious escape with a unique stay experience. Our Zostel Plus properties are designed from the ground up to pamper you with exceptional locations and prime services.

Explore the finest of India
Zostel properties are located in exemplary locations to provide you with the most pleasing experience of any destination. From the remote glacier lands of Himachal to unmapped Keralan villages, we believe in exploring and making a home out of unconventional, unknown, and genuinely remarkable destinations.

Experiences like no others
At every Zostel property, you will find a list of curated experiences you can DIY or join us for. From nature trails that lead to hidden waterfalls, cafe crawls, and adventure sports to farming, stargazing, and learning local art forms, there is something in store for every Zosteler at all the destinations we are present in.
