Hostello Backpackers

Hostello Backpackers sits by Guwahati Zoo, with trees, birds, animals, clean air, and enough quiet that lion and tiger roars may be audible at night. The terrace can look straight into the zoo, with ostrich and emu sightings possible, giving the place a weird little nature-lab edge inside the city. The hostel leans homely and low-pressure rather than party-machine. There is a common space, kitchen, open garden with two tents, dorm options around 4-bed and 8-bed setups, a private room, and limited car parking. It seems easy to unwind here, meet other travelers, and still keep things calm. The hosts are a big part of the stay: warm, backpacker-friendly, and useful for local tips, including routes toward Manas and Kaziranga. Rooms and dorms seem clean, fresh, and comfortable, with strong value for a budget Guwahati base.
