Indian Culture

I had a perfect stay here during my visit to Rishikesh . Rooms was clean and well manitained, staff was helpful since we were facing some issue with locking the door he helped us resolve that issue. For me the best part was the location it very near to laxman jhula and Bajrang setu, also for pebel beach or tapovan ghat its, very near easily can go by small walk . You can sit on the common area if you prefer to read novels or take a sip of your coffee surrounded by trees giving a perfect ambiance. Surely recommend this to anyone who wants to stay close to laxman Jhula tapovan area.

Traveling alone and visiting India for the first time, Rishikesh was a complete mystery — I didn’t know what to expect. From the very first moment, I felt comfortable, safe, and warmly welcomed in a clean and empathetic environment. I stayed both in the “mini loft” room (which I lovingly called my little studio) and in a shared dorm — both experiences were excellent. In the dorm, I was initially worried about the shared bathroom, but it was brand new and cleaned several times a day. Perfect! Whenever I had questions or needed advice about places to visit, Ilo, Sankalpa, and the whole staff were incredibly kind and helpful — a truly wonderful team. The setting is another highlight: a real “jungle island” in Tapovan, surrounded by beautiful, well-kept plants and trees. Every corner feels carefully designed — the “fishbowl” area for reading and relaxing is just lovely. The small restaurant inside the hostel is also a gem: delicious breakfasts, lunches, and fresh juices. The pineapple and green apple juice is a must-try! I’m truly happy and grateful for this experience and for such a beautiful place to stay. Thank you, Indian Culture Hostel!

Sankalp is one of the kindest owner I’ve ever met. I came to Indian Culture after a terrible experience in another hostel and he took care of me in the best way possible. The rooms are super clean and spacious, every bed has his own curtains and a private locker. The food in the cafe is amazing and the athmosphere is quiet and cozy. Amazing people are staying there and I created unforgettable memories. If I’ll ever come back in Rishikesh I’ll come back to Indian Culture for sure. Thank you from the deepest of my heart❤️

Such a nice hostel! The food is good and the team working there so kind and helpful. Dorms are clean and comfortable and the common areas makes it very easy to connect with other travellers. My only wish is that it was located in upper Tapovan as this area near Ganga is very busy and far from the yoga, activities and cafés I mostly went to in upper Tapovan.

I had a wonderful stay at this property. Very well maintained , the staff and people are very friendly perfect space for solo female traveler. If you’re looking for a peaceful place closer to the attractions just go for it. If you’re looking for a party hostel or place for large groups would not recommend as this place has that calm and quiet atmosphere.
