I really enjoyed my stay! I stayed in a shared room — it was super clean, with a spotless bathroom. Everything felt fresh and new, with no strange smells. But most of all, I want to highlight the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff! I was truly touched when they kindly agreed to store my suitcase while I go on my pilgrimage to Kedarnath. Thank you for your warmth and care!

I had a wonderful stay at Indian Culture! The suite apartment was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The bed was especially cozy. There's a lovely little café on-site where I enjoyed fresh fruit salad and coffee every morning. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful—they even arranged a taxi for my next destination and made me feel truly welcome. Highly recommended!

The place is so peaceful. I was supposed to stay 4 nights and stayed 14 nights.... That's how much I liked it. You really feel home. If you want to be alone no one will disturb you, if you want to socialize you will have many amazing people to socialize with. The owner is a very nice person, that will always take care of you! It was so Nice. I wish I could have stayed there 2 months. There is many forest walk there and waterfall walk. You will see blue butterfly, monkeys, lezards etc it is so amazing really. No connection in the homestay (which is good to relax and it makes the people talking to each other) but if you walk 5min to the bridge then you have connexion !

    I recently stayed at Madpacker 2.0 and had a fantastic experience. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. I especially enjoyed the small get-togethers they arranged every noon and night, which made it easy to meet fellow travelers. Overall, Madpacker offers excellent value for money and a welcoming environment. Highly recommended for budget-conscious travelers!

Highly recommended for budget travellers seeking a comfortable stay. the food was good with a variety of options. the river was a walkable distance from the establishment. the staff helped with additional arrangements for travelling and places to visit. rooms were private, quiet and safe. I would recommend it to even working professionals who want a quiet getaway and work in peace.
