Eevolve Hostel

The main house: dorm bunks, private rooms, the café and the common room everyone ends up in. Fifty metres from the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Centre and a short walk from everything else in the village.

Eevolve is the larger of our two houses and the sociable one, though sociable here means people reading on the terrace rather than a bar. It sits on the hillside just above the village, with forest on three sides and the Dhauladhar visible over the roofline on a clear morning.

There are three dorms (an eight-bed mixed, a four-bed mixed and a four-bed female-only), all with proper eight-inch mattresses, lockers and reading lights rather than the usual hostel compromise. The private rooms range from a standard double up to a studio apartment with its own kitchenette, and the Evolve Home rooms are the larger ones, with space for a third person.

The café runs from morning to night and cooks fresh each day rather than to a fixed menu. The glass-roofed common room, with floor seating and forest on three sides, is free for your own practice or for a session you want to organise. Wifi runs at 150 mbps across the property, which is why a lot of people who booked for three nights are still here a month later.
