Turtle Hostel

Turtle Hostel by the lake

Lake Pichola views, rooftop sunsets, music and good people

Welcome to Turtle Hostel Udaipur, a relaxed and social backpacker hostel in the heart of Udaipur’s Old City. We are just a short walk from Lake Pichola, City Palace, Jagdish Temple, the ghats, local markets and the colourful streets of the old city.

Come for Udaipur. Stay for the rooftop. Leave with new friends and stories you did not expect to make.

A rooftop made for Udaipur

Our rooftop is one of those places where plans tend to disappear.

Start your morning with breakfast and a view of Lake Pichola. Come back after exploring the city for sunset, grab a chai, meet other travellers and settle in for the evening.

Some nights are quiet and slow. Other nights turn into card games, conversations, music and spontaneous jam sessions with travellers and our team.

Sometimes someone picks up a guitar and suddenly nobody wants to go downstairs.

Music, people and the Turtle atmosphere

TURTLE is for travellers who enjoy meeting people without needing a party every night.

We regularly create opportunities for guests to connect through music and jamming sessions, games, rooftop evenings and casual traveller meetups.

You can join in, bring your own instrument, share your travel stories or simply sit back with a chai and watch the evening unfold.

Solo traveller? You will fit right in.

Travelling with friends? Bring them.

Looking for somewhere peaceful to recharge? There is space for that too.

Explore Udaipur on foot

TURTLE puts you close to the places that make Udaipur special.

Lake Pichola, City Palace, Jagdish Temple, the ghats, local markets and the Old City are all within easy reach.

Our team is always happy to help you plan your day, whether you want a boat ride on Lake Pichola, a sunset spot, local food, a scooter, nearby attractions or recommendations away from the usual tourist trail.

Explore all day.

Come back to Turtle.

Watch the city change colour from the rooftop.

Comfortable, clean and made for travellers

After a long day exploring Udaipur, you need a place where you can relax.

Our dorms are designed for backpackers, with comfortable beds and privacy features, while our private rooms are ideal when you want your own space.

We keep things clean, simple and comfortable without losing the character that makes staying in a hostel different from staying in a hotel.

Start the day right

Breakfast, coffee, conversations and a rooftop view of Udaipur.

Our mornings are slow and easy, giving you time to decide whether the day will be spent exploring palaces, taking a boat across Lake Pichola, looking for street food or doing absolutely nothing.
