Hostel ∙ 8 guests | Hostel in Lakhwad

Mussoorie has a way of slowing time. The winding roads, towering pines, and mist rolling over the hills make it feel like a postcard come to life. Hidden within this landscape, far from the usual hustle, is a quiet retreat where the sound of a flowing stream replaces the city’s noise, and chilly mountain air refreshes the soul. Just a five-kilometer drive from Kempty Falls, this is where Mussoorie’s true charm unfoldsâ€"calm, serene, and untouched.
At The Hosteller Mussoorie â€" By the Streamside, we bring this experience to life. Spacious dorms and private rooms with balconies offer stunning mountain views, while brick-and-wood interiors add warmth and character. The verandah invites slow mornings with steaming chai, and the outdoor bonfire area sets the stage for unforgettable nights under the stars. The streamside nook, complete with seating by the water, is the perfect spot to dip your feet, unwind, and soak in nature.
The property seamlessly blends adventure with relaxation. Whether you’re hiking through dense pine forests, discovering hidden waterfalls, or simply reading a book by the stream, every moment feels effortless. For digital nomads, the peaceful setting and reliable Wi-Fi make work feel less like work.
If you're looking for more than just a place to stayâ€"a place where the mountains, the water, and the silence come together to create something specialâ€"The Hosteller Mussoorie is waiting for you.
