HouseTale | A Traveller's Home

HouseTale | A Traveller’s Home is Bihar’s first peaceful, backpacker-friendly hostel in Bodh Gaya, featuring a lush garden, a 360° rooftop view, and an in-house café (coming soon). Guests love the clean rooms, comfortable beds, and the warm, welcoming vibe. It’s not just us who say this—our guest reviews confirm it, and that’s why HouseTale is proudly featured as the top-ranked stay among the Top 7 Stays in Bodh Gaya in Lonely Planet’s World Guidebook 2025 edition.

The heart behind HouseTale is Armaan, the host and owner, who turned this space into a gem filled with stories, laughter, and soulful energy. He ensures every guest feels at home, creating memorable experiences with genuine hospitality.

We offer a range of stays including private rooms, AC and non-AC dorms, and outdoor space for tents—you can even pitch your own if you're carrying one.

Enjoy indoor fun with chess, table tennis, carrom, and more. Love music? We’ve got a variety of musical instruments for you to jam with. For outdoor lovers, cycling and hiking trails are nearby.
Our staff speak English, Hindi, Japanese, and Spanish, and are available 24/7 to assist you.
