Zu-Zu Hostels

Shimla

Boasting a garden, Zu-Zu Hostels is situated in Shimla in the Himachal Pradesh region, 1.1 km from Victory Tunnel and 2.2 km from Circular Road. The property is around 5.4 km from Indian Institute of Advanced Study, 8 km from Jakhoo Gondola and 8 km from Jakhu Temple. Tara Devi Mandir is 10 km away and The Ridge, Shimla is 10 km from the hostel. The property itself is a hidden gem, a quirky paradise for backpackers. This place had me in splits the moment I stepped in. The real stars of the show are hostel staff. They are epitome of humble and helpful. The cozy balcony and garden area is the best I embraced. Speaking of the food, the Indian cuisine(paneer) has lip smacking flavours. All in all, my stay at hostel is amazing. So if you are looking for a peaceful cozy experience in Shimla, this is a spot for you.

Eevolve Dharamkot - An Eco Hostel

McLeod Ganj

Eevolve Dharamkot - An Eco Hostel in McLeod Ganj provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a restaurant. Featuring a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We had a fantastic stay at Eevolve Hostel! We originally booked for 1 night and ended up staying all 3 nights we were in Dharamshala. The location is perfect - a 10 minute walk up to the Main Street of Dharmkot, a 10 minute walk down to the main area of Bhagsu, and just a 25 minute walk to McLeod Ganj. You’re tucked into the forest so you feel very secluded despite being so close to everything. And everyone who works there is incredibly friendly and helpful. The team hosts hikes for a sunset view, and a fire in the common area every night where you have the opportunity to meet other people from the hostel. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer!

I felt very safe and at home and he answered any query or question I had, always with a smile on his face. I enjoyed my stay so much I came back again for a second time, and am sure if I’m in Bir again, would stay here again :)
