Friends by Alizeh Bhagsunag McLeodganj

it was truly an amazing experience. the owner, alizeh ji, was personally involved w everything from start to end and worked hard to create an environment that felt like home. the planned events at the rooftop and alizeh ji’s own tendency to bring everyone together helped create lasting bonds. the hostel itself is beautiful and very well maintained. definitely try their shakshouka.

We stayed at the dorms at Friends by Alizeh. It was one of the best stays we had. One of the best parts was the common lounge, where people from different states gathered in the nights to chat, play games, and share stories. The host was also very welcoming. They helped us in renting vehicles.Overall, my stay at the hostel was enjoyable, affordable, and memorable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly and budget-friendly place to stay.

My stay is good and near the market. The property is very neat and clean and I enjoyed it. Everything is good.

Great hostel! The rooms are nice and clean, and the restaurant food is also very good. Had a comfortable stay!

The vibe at this place is really amazing.. We enjoyed the evening events organised at the property itself and that was the best part. Place is well maintained and hygienic and location is easily accessible right in the Bhagsu market. Totally recommended for solo or group travellers

The stay was awesome.... food was yum.... in evening many events are organized by alizeh which is fun to take part in.

This hostel was all about fun and party vibes, and the credit goes to the super-enthusiastic owner who kept the energy high and made the stay unforgettable! 🎉

Good Overall 👍 Nice place 👍

th property was clean and cozy.the views from the rooftop were good. it was just hard to access and at a very conjusted place, rest the hospitality was amazing of the people there.

Staying at Friends by Alizeh honestly felt like finding a home you didn’t know you were missing. The rooms are clean, thoughtfully designed, and super cozy ; perfect for crashing after a long trek, But the real magic? The people. The hosts are absolute gems so warm, helpful, and genuinely invested in making your stay beautiful. You end up feeling less like a guest and more like a part of their little mountain family.

I loved my stay at friends by alizeh, very good food and sitting area, the place is easily accessible to the market and bhagsung waterfall.

A beautiful, inclusive space with amazing vibes. Friends with Alizeh felt like home from day one. Clean rooms, great food (especially the shakshuka!), and a warm, welcoming host. Perfect for solo travelers and anyone looking to connect. Would love to visit again! 🌿✨
