Who We Are?

Welcome to Indian Culture, a dream realized by a couple with a passion for travel and a love for connecting with fellow adventurers. Meet Sankalp from India and Ilona from Argentina, the hearts and souls behind our hostel.

In 2018, inspired by their shared wanderlust, Sankalp and Ilona embarked on an exciting journey. They decided to create a haven in the heart of Rishikesh, a place that would not only be a resting spot for travelers but a warm and welcoming “home away from home.”

Their vision was simple yet profound: to offer travelers a clean, beautiful, and comfortable place to rest surrounded by nature. Their passion for providing exceptional hospitality and their deep-rooted desire to meet people from all corners of the globe led them to establish Indian Culture. Here, you’ll experience more than just a place to stay; you’ll find a vibrant community of like-minded travelers eager to share stories, experiences, and laughter.

Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a group of friends, or a family on a memorable journey, we invite you to be a part of our hostel’s story. At Indian Culture Hostel, we consider all our guests part of our extended family.

Our guiding principle is simple: LOVE. 

Join us and create lasting memories in the heart of Tapovan. Come, and experience the warmth and hospitality that define us.
