Hostels like The Hosteller were among the firsts to help travellers’ lives get easy in this city. And it worked like never before. The number of travellers increased and so did the quality of hospitality. Moreover, it led to more places to chill and theme-based dormitories to make travellers’ stay more interesting. Looking frantically for cheap hotels in Delhi is now a thing of the past.

Delhi is the home of a lot of travellers that come from around the world. They prefer to stay in classy backpacker hostels. So when it comes to stopping by somewhere to listen to some travel tales to get motivated and hit the road, Delhi offers you ample travel talks and meets where you can just check in and listen to stories of great travellers, photographers, adventurers and storytellers, while sipping your tea on a cold winter evening.

Conclusion:

To conclude, we do not think a backpacker should have a reason to hate Delhi. A backpacker does not seek places but seeks journeys, cultures and experiences. Delhi gives you everything. And like every place, it has its cons. But what differentiates a traveller from a tourist is that the traveller keeps the cons away and embraces what a destination truly has to offer. As far as Delhi is concerned, what it offers is totally worth a visit is uncountable.
