    Description

    IF YOU ARE READING THIS, IT’S TOO LATE,
    I already sent good vibes your way, they are coming. There’s nothing you can do to stop them.

    Myself Koko, a guy with many dreams. One of my dream was to open a hostel and create a cool social space for travelers, and now it’s been a year since I opened it. I have been meeting many wonderful people through workaway who helped me to create this beautiful space.

    We are a family of free, open-minded and enthusiastic people from different places who work and stay here.

    If I have to sum up the Varanasi experience in some words, it would be- Temples, cows, boats, silk, bhang-lassi, ghats, babas, philosophy, ashrams, yoga, spirituality, forts, alleys, meditation, literature, snake-charmers, sunrise, burning ghat, ceremonies, hippies, classical music.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There are so many things to learn and unlearn in this city, about life, death and everything in between, just walk around the streets and the ghats, every time you’ll see something that will amaze your mind and soul. This city reveals reality, it does not bring new wonders into the scope of vision but enables to see what is already there.

    At the hostel, we can teach you some Hindi and Nepali.
    You can find some babas chilling around the streets who can be a good company to share knowledge.

    Overall, Varanasi is a delightful experience.
