The Hostel is very cozy n comfy with proper riverview and ample space to hangout with friends and newer friends. And it you want more play, there's a dedicated play area with access to Table Tennis and PS4. you have to take a cab or walk 1.6km into the chalal village to get here. It also has nearby access to lots of cafes and parties, and on weekends people start pouring in and you make lots of new friends and get to learn so many new experiences. In the end i extended my stay here more than a month because it was ideal for lots of things you or I want to do in Kasol and i would happily come back here on my next visit

The location of the property was amazing. The view from the private room was mesmerising. The room was spacious and clean. Sumit the manager there, was very helpful and was available on call and provided us whatever we needed.
We went in freezing cold, the temperature was -8 and there was no light in the room. It got very cold in the night. Sumit was ready to give heaters in the room but there was no electricity. In such cases just a recommendation that something should be done to keep the room warm. We did ask the boy for extra blankets he provided us one but later refused to give more.

Wabi Sabi Hostel is the perfect mountain getaway, offering stunning views of the river and lush green hills right from your window. The host’s warmth and hospitality make you feel like you’ve found a home away from home. The highlight is the cozy in-house cafe, where the food is absolutely delicious—whether it’s a Nutella-loaded pancake or a soul-warming cup of coffee, every bite feels like comfort. If you’re looking for good vibes, great food, and a view to fall in love with, Wabi Sabi is the place to be.❤️🤌✨

During my week-long stay at a wabi sabi hostel in Kasol, I experienced a truly serene and enriching retreat. The hostel, embodying the Japanese concept of wabi sabi, offered a perfect blend of simplicity and natural beauty. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and I formed wonderful connections with fellow travelers. The food was exceptional, with each meal crafted to perfection, adding to the overall experience. This stay was a memorable escape, providing a deep sense of peace and contentment amidst the scenic landscapes of Kasol

the riverside location was incredible. the cafe food was also decent. the dorm was big enough for 8 people. there was hot water available throughout the day. all of the staff members were also very friendly.
the washrooms could've been maintained a little better imo. the snacks in the cafe weren't that great but the main course and all were decent. the location wasn't super accessible or easy to reach. a half hour walk from the main market, which is okay but the road to get to the hostel was not great and only accessible by 2 wheelers

What has been missing in thehosteller and Zostel was so evident when I stayed here. The inclusive culture. Hanging out with people. The view and how I can forget the crazy food.
Well it can't be expected of co-guests to maintain the hygiene which made me suffer a bit with the washroom however it was manageable. However would request more frequent cleanings of the washroom

I went on a solo trip here not knowing what to expect. As soon as I reached Chalal, I was mesmerised by the stunning view, the peace, the people, and the hospitality around. Wabi Sabi did play an important role in my trip. Carol and Shruti were very accommodating and helpful, they’re an important part of the Wabi Sabi experience. All in all it was a wonderful stay, great rooms, amazing people, good food, and great connectivity.
That I couldn’t stay there for longer :(
