All wonderful, the place is away from civilization and you can have a really chill and relaxing time. There are some small hikes also around this beautiful area. Their food is excellent and the staff is so kind and aware of all our needs.

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 was tossing up for a long time about where to stay in Dharamshala and this is the perfect spot. Tucked away in a little pocket of Lower Dharamkot, all you hear are birds but at the same time it's only a 10 min walk to Upper Dharamkot or Bhagsu and 20 mins to McLeod Ganj which isn't quiet at all. The female dorm is clean with comfy beds, big lockers and 2 toilets for 8 people. The food is great - try the paneer butter masala - and the staff are happy to help with everything. The hostel organised group walks and every night a fire is lit. Many travellers had to move as the hostel was fully booked but still came back to socialise as the vibe was so nice.

Staying at Friends with Alizeh was truly an unforgettable experience. The place itself is amazing, with a vibrant atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The people are incredibly friendly, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the stay. Alizeh, the host, is nothing short of amiable and caring. She goes out of her way to ensure that every guest is comfortable and well taken care of. Her hospitality is genuine, and it shines through in every interaction. The food was simply delicious, with each meal reflecting the care and thought put into its preparation. I was also impressed by how clean and well-maintained the entire place was, adding to the overall comfort. Additionally, the location is perfect, offering easy access to local attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. The accommodation itself is beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel special. I wholeheartedly recommend Friends with Alizeh to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. It's a place where you can truly relax and feel at home.

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.
