Located within 18 miles of Mansa Devi Temple and a 4-minute walk of Patanjali International Yoga Foundation, Indian Culture provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Rishīkesh.

The place is very nice, nice dorm rooms, nicely done interior, greenery within the complex, newly built sitting and reading space is very nice, newly built cafe and the sitting area with a machan on top with cozy mattresses where you can relax during the daytime is very comfortable. This place is like a home to me. The owner, Sankalp is a great guy. The celebration of Holi and the Lunch was too good. This property hosts a lot of foreign tourists and travelers, making it a great place for multi cultural experience.

    I recently stayed at Madpacker 2.0 and had a fantastic experience. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. I especially enjoyed the small get-togethers they arranged every noon and night, which made it easy to meet fellow travelers. Overall, Madpacker offers excellent value for money and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

    It was the first solo trip of my life and I was really scared. Fortunately, Soul Hostel really helped to calm my anxiety. I stayed in a mixed dormitory for a week and not once I felt unsafe. There were friendly people around in case of an emergency and you get all basic facilities here. I will definitely book my next stay here. You should go for it without any second thought!

    The whole vibe and people at the hostel. This is how hostels are supposed to be; a community centre to meet new people, learn from each other's experiences and share joy. Loved interacting with Tej, Rahul and Komal. Nicolai was soo full of life, he brought soo much energy to our evenings. It was one of the best hostel stays in recent times.
