    The location was perfect, with a beautiful view and walking distance to Bhagsu Nag waterfall. the staff, especially Nitin, were courteous and helpful.

    I visited this hostel to explore the nearby attractions, particularly the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts and Bhagsu Naag Temple. The standout for me was the private room I stayed in; it was spacious, sparkling clean, and had an incredible view from the balcony. The staff were really helpful in organizing activities, which added to the enjoyment of my trip. do be prepared for some noise from barking dogs and music from a nearby location. it was a vibrant place, perfect for those looking to meet fellow travelers, though a little loud at times.

    I recently stayed at Shalom Backpackers in McLeod Ganj for a few days and I had an amazing time. The atmosphere was chill and the vibes were perfect for a relaxing getaway. I loved meeting other like-minded travelers who were also working remotely from the mountains. The staff were incredibly supportive and helpful, especially Vishwajeet who always had a dazzling smile and made my stay even more memorable. The rooms were comfortable with a balcony, which was a great bonus for smokers. The public areas were vibrant and filled with a colorful mural on the walls. Plus, the location was central with plenty of eating options nearby.

    I can recommend this hotel.

    We had a blast exploring the world of yoga and meditation at the ashrams. The instructors were so chill and guided us on a path of self-discovery and tranquility. And whoa, the thrilling activities were off the hook! River rafting was wild, navigating through those crazy rapids had our adrenaline pumping. And bungy jumping was the ultimate rush, a leap into the abyss that made our hearts race. Exploring the trails to Triund was epic, the views were to die for. And the social events at the hostel were lit too, we made new friends from all over the world. our vacation was full of adventure and good vibes!

    The only thing we wished for was a better party scene for us young, party-going people. The nightlife options were a bit limited, and we were craving some beach shacks and clubs to come alive with music and dance.

    During our recent stay at Shalom Backpackers, we were impressed by the beautiful location and the fantastic facilities available. The staff, particularly Poonam, went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met.

    Although there were a few drawbacks, such as the hostel's remote location and the hike required to reach it, we found that the overall experience outweighed these minor inconveniences.

    The hostel was a true oasis, with its open patio offering a breathtaking view of the surrounding natural beauty. It felt like a mini Switzerland in the heart of Uttarakhand. Every morning, I would sit there, sipping my coffee and feeling as if I had been transported to a heavenly place.

    Construction noise nearby.

    The Deluxe Double Room at Shalom Backpackers Dharamkot Mcleodganj is simply amazing! It has a lovely private terrace where you can chill, and the ensuite washroom is super convenient. As a guest with children, I absolutely loved the relaxed vibe of the room.

    Personally, I found the lighting in the room a bit dim, but hey, different strokes for different folks!

    This hotel offers a peaceful and quiet location, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. the beds are warm and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. the staff is friendly and helpful, offering great advice and recommendations for places to visit in India.

    The hotel is located far from the town, making it difficult to reach and requiring a hike with bags.

    During my recent business trip to McLeod Ganj, my director chose Shalom Backpackers Dharamkot Mcleodganj for our stay. One of the highlights of this hotel was the inviting swimming pool, perfect for relaxation and soaking up the McLeod Ganj sun. It provided a great opportunity to cool off and mingle with fellow travelers, creating a vibrant and friendly atmosphere. Another wonderful aspect of McLeod Ganj is the wide range of Ayurvedic healing therapies and spa treatments available. These rejuvenating experiences were a must-try and added a touch of wellness to our stay.

    Sadly, I have to mention one minor negative aspect of my experience at Shalom Backpackers Dharamkot Mcleodganj.

    The Deluxe Double Room at Shalom Backpackers is just perfect for a budget traveler like me. The private terrace adds a touch of tranquility, and the ensuite washroom is so convenient. I couldn't ask for more!

    Personally, I found the Wi-Fi to be a bit slow, but hey, it's all about being disconnected and enjoying the mountains, right?
