At the hostel, the rooms have a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer, some units at Tag Along 2 0 Hostel Gangtok also feature a mountain view. All rooms have a safety deposit box. Beautiful location - for me it was worth it even though it is about a 30 minute walk to the main tourist street. Honestly it is nice being away from the tourist trap main drag even though I was only there for a few days. The road that leads to the hostel has lots of shops, some restaurants and bars, the sister hostel’s travel cafe, and Rachna Bookstore for great books and food. So if you are around for a while its great. The property is set in dense greenery, and does indeed have lots of birdlife. Great common spaces, great balconies, great food for the set dinners (I didn’t have the breakfast or lunch), and the staff is super knowledgeable, especially Saran. They have a deeper and somewhat offbeat lost of things to do in Gangtok, and will organize hikes for groups from the hostel. The standout for me here was the design - an amazing space compared to any other hostel I’ve been to in India. And very clean :)

Mochilero Ostello in Pelling provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for cycling, and bike hire and car hire are available at the hostel. I could see the dim outline of Kanchenjunga, not the clear view because it was hazy. Personally it was still good. Anyway April was not the right time to see the clear view. Michilero(backpacker in Spanish) Ostello(hostel in Italian) was a great place to stay in Pelling. Everything - home made food, family atmosphere  - was perfect. And Wake in Himalayas, the hostel next to Mochilero Ostello, was also a nice place run by warm hearted family.

Featuring free bikes and free WiFi, Tag Along Backpackers is located in Gangtok, 1.6 km from Palzor Stadium and 2 km from Enchey Monastery. The property is set 3.1 km from Namgyal Institute of Tibetology, 3.3 km from Do Drul Chorten Monastery and 4.4 km from Ganesh Tok View Point. Hanuman Tok is 7.3 km from the hostel and Banjhakri Falls and Park is 7.5 km away. The best part of this hostel is the staff, the vibe and the community, which centers around the cafe. The cafe is a great place to meet people. The staff is engaged and organizes great outings. Most importantly, the owners and most staff are engaged in the local community and are super knowledgeable. Tag Along and Tag Along 2.0 were my best hostel experiences in 5 months in India, and are a model of what hostels should be.
