A mad mad mad place to be in Bir !!! You have many options , but Madpackers is your place - it’s at the walking distance from every attraction- the paragliding site, the market - and all the beautiful cafes that Bir has to offer. Aman is your man out there; your go to guy !he is extremely amazing at crowds work and on a good day you’ll also get to experience him sing and play his guitar. Madpackers is a vibe ! I’m sure they’d be 100 more hostels out there but , this one is unique.
