The Hosteller Chikmagalur

I initially planned to stay at this hostel for just two days, but the warmth and hospitality here didn't allow me to leave—I ended up extending to five days. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was like so tranquil! The hostel is nestled inside a beautiful coffee estate, where the air smells like fresh beans and black pepper vines climb the trees around you. Waking up and taking a stroll through the estate feels unreal. And then there’s the sunset—absolutely mind-blowing. Watching the sun dip behind the silver aok trees of the hill, painting the sky in insane colors is something you just can't miss. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a stay—where you feel at home, meet amazing people, and soak in nature at its best then this is it. I came for two days and left after five, but honestly, I could’ve stayed forever. A huge thank you to the incredible team [Anuj,shyam,stelin,Vishal and everyone else (long list) sorry guys😂]Your warmth, energy, and always-smiling faces made my stay unforgettable. Keep spreading those good vibes!

The team helped me explore Mullayanagiri and gave great tips for Z Point sunrise trek. The plantation walk was peaceful, and the bonfire nights felt like a family gathering. They also booked transport for Belur and Halebidu temples. Couldn’t have asked for more!
