It\u2019s a place where anything is possible and no day is the same. But, what does a trip to India look like? Well for a start you can be sure that your photography count will hit the roof, your tuk-tuk game will become unrivalled and you\u2019ll head home with a colourful array of new garments. Sounds pretty sweet right?!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re visiting the country where the tempo has been turned up, then you\u2019ll need somewhere to rest your weary head.

In some cities you can bag yourself a colour popping, artsy hostel for less than \u20ac5 per night, making India a hotspot for backpackers on a low budget. Whether you want to explore the majestic temples of Rajasthan or sip fresh coconuts on a Goan beach, you can be safe in the knowledge that you won\u2019t break the bank when it comes to \ufb01nding somewhere to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s our pick of the best hostels in India&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jump straight to:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#Best-hostels-in-India-for-solo-travellers\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in India for solo travellers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Best-hostels-in-India-for-couples\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in India for couples<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Best-party-hostels-in-India\" class=\"post links\">Best party hostels in India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Best-Hostels-in-India-with-private-rooms\" class=\"post links\">Best hostels in India with private rooms<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Best-of-the-rest-hostels-in-India\" class=\"post links\">Best of the rest hostels in India<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"Best-hostels-in-India-for-solo-travellers\">Best hostels in India for solo travellers<\/h2>\n<p>Riding solo on your trip to India?
