Shalom Backpackers Jaipur

Our Story Since 2017, seven hostels, one community. THE BEGINNING One hostel in Rishikesh. A view of the Ganges. A belief that budget travel shouldn't feel budget. "We started with one room and a kettle. The travelers built the rest." Shalom Backpackers began in October 2017 with a single property in Rishikesh, overlooking the Ganges. The idea was simple — every traveler deserves a clean bed, a great view, and a space where strangers become friends over chai. That first hostel proved the concept within months. Eight years, seven properties, and over a hundred thousand travelers later, the principle hasn't changed. We don't chase scale for scale's sake. Every new Shalom is chosen for its location first. We're self-built, family-run, and stubbornly focused on the things that actually matter: clean bathrooms, reliable WiFi, genuine staff, and views that make you cancel your checkout. 1,00,000+ TRAVELERS HOSTED 22,000+ VERIFIED REVIEWS 8 LOCATIONS Since 2017 SELF-BUILT WHAT WE BELIEVE Three things, done right.
