Hidden Monkey Backpackers, Railway Station, Darjeeling

I loved the environment and bonfire.. The stay was short but happening. Ripon took care of everything very warmly as a female solo traveller he asked me several times whether i was enjoying and comfortable or not. Thanks for everything

Nothing.. Everything was chill

Friendly host , you'll get the best pahado wali maggie n tea anytime, the panaromic mountain view from the terrace during the dawn n sunset is amazing. N ofcourse meeting fellow like minded backpackers to make impromptu itineraries to nearby tourist spots or a breakfast rendezvous n midnight company during a guitar session around campfire. Also feisty Lily (master cat) will also allure with its enigmatic persona.

The climb upwards the steep stairs. Pack light n shop less n bring backpack rather than a suitcase.

I recently stayed at a hostel in Darjeeling and had a great experience overall. The owner and manager, Ripit, were extremely helpful throughout my stay, providing valuable local tips and assistance. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Darjeeling Railway Station.

However, one downside is the stairs—if you have heavy luggage, be prepared, as there are a few steps and no access for autos or cabs. Otherwise, it's a great spot to stay!

Good vibe, good location, the staff was super friendly and professional, Ripon helped me a lot with all my queries, also with treks. Will come back for sure!

The street where the hostel is does not appear in google maps, so getting to the hostel is a bit difficult

Host Ripan has been amazing. Had bonfire, great conversations and tea. Will be back soon
