Where: C-18B, Bihari Marg, Bani Park, Jaipur, Rajasthan

Ideal for: Backpackers and budget travellers

What's so special: It's a hostel. Yes, you didn't expect it to be on this list, but it totally deserves a place owing to the brilliant vibe. The hostel is extremely reasonable but the level of service by the staff and the camaraderie amongst the guests is incredible. You can chill with fellow guests (that are mostly foreigners) till the wee hours of the morning without a care in the world. The environment is very informal and there's even a "secret stoner room" in the basement, which is psychedelically lit and designed.

Price: ₹140 for a single bunk bed, without breakfast

What’s nearby: The hostel is situated inside Jaipur, and you know there's no dearth of tourist attractions in this city. Hawa Mahal is the most obvious place to visit, and don't forget to shop for souvenirs at Johari Bazaar. The Nahargarh Fort is located half an hour away from the city and is also a must-visit.
