About

Overlooking the serene Fojal stream, rich fruit orchards, and the towering mountains of Kullu, Zostel Dobhi invites you to explore the offbeat Fojal valley of Himachal Pradesh. It houses a stunning workation area, warm common rooms with indoor games, a refreshing bonfire area, and an in-house restaurant that serves Indian dishes as well as traditional, home-cooked Himachali delicacies.

Travellers can choose between spacious dorm rooms and beautifully designed private rooms, all of which come either with a private balcony or floor-length windows to take in the view. Moreover, the hostel offers a private access to the nearby stream and picnic area for a memorable time unwinding outdoors. In all, Zostel Dobhi is perfect for digital nomads looking for a workation, for travellers on a weekend getaway in the mountains, and adventure enthusiasts who relish their time outdoors.

Hosted by a loving Buddhist family, Zostel Dobhi is located 23 km south of Manali and sits at the very beginning of Kullu's unexplored Fojal valley. Loaded with nature hikes, adventure activities such as river rafting and paragliding, and beautiful views of the snow-capped Himalayas, Dobhi is a promising new destination in Himachal for backpackers and travellers.
