Each Live Free hostel is shaped by its city — the mountains, the ghats, the forests — and filled with the same warmth.
Located in Tapovan near Laxman Jhula, our top-rated hostel offers a rooftop yoga space, live music, and hammocks—the perfect base camp for rafting and meeting backpackers.
A five-minute walk from Assi Ghat, our Varanasi hub immerses you in spiritual culture. Enjoy Ganga Aarti, explore alleyways, and connect with global travelers.
Nestled in the valley, our Dehradun property is the perfect place to explore the city and a Mussoorie stopover. Featuring AC rooms, Wi-Fi, social zones, and quiet nooks, it unites all travelers.
Upgrade your office chair to a hammock, your commute to a sunrise hike, and your lunch desk to a rooftop with mountain views. Our Workation Package gives remote workers everything they need to stay productive and actually enjoy where they are.
Start your day tirelessly. Take your lunch break on a hiking trail. Finish your workday with a cold beer and a sunset you didn't have to scroll past.
This isn't a vacation — it's your life, just with better scenery.
