    We had a wonderful stay at Shalom Backpackers Dharamshala. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, made even better by the people around us. Special thanks to Jaggi, the cook, for the delicious food, and Moses, the caretaker, for being so helpful. Our roommates were awesome too, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, a comfortable and friendly place to stay!

    Well maintained and freshly constructed, honestly found all class amenities to have a peaceful stay, especially for a hostel. But the best part was the lovely host Shiv, who guided us for best things to do.. which were all barely a five minutes’ walk from the property by the way. Best one 👍🏻
