Last time we planned to visit Chikkamagaluru, we wanted to stay away from regular lodge or hotel and experience something different and unique. As we were looking for options, we stumbled upon this hostel cum horse academy.
About Trippr:
Trippr is a chain of backpacker hostels providing best in quality stay for travellers on the go. The concept is to provide a cosy and economical stay where one can hit the base during a journey or live for a couple of weeks to enjoy the life peacefully.
The property owner and the manager both were very helpful with the check in and in suggesting the places to see. We were a bit early than our check in time but we were allowed to drop our bags in the waiting area and come back later to check in. The people who run the place have a very good vibe. And that’s what trippr believes in.
The property is conveniently located a little away from the hustle and bustle of the town and is surrounded by greenery all around.
The view from the terrace is refreshing with calm surroundings and hills which were scattered at distance all around the place. The property has three cottages for families and two storied building with huge dormitories for backpackers and travellers.This property is actually in a horse riding academy and you can get a chance to see the horses being trained and also try riding a horse inside the academy for a nominal price.
