Hidden away just off the main Vagator Beach Road, Jungle Hostel By Sturmfrie is surrounded by coconut trees in the garden, cosy common areas, lots of terraces and a shared lounge and bar. With two structures on the property, you can pick between private rooms (starting at INR 2,000 for two) or a bunk bed (INR 550 onwards) in a dorm. Most of these rooms come with air-conditioning.
From yoga classes to events and other activities, they offer enough so you don't really need to leave the hostel if you don't want to. Or, you could just get out of this oasis and take a walk down the crowded Vagator road with its eateries, grocery shops and trinket stalls. On weekends, they sometimes host beach parties with live music and one of its biggest draws remains a fresh, hearty breakfast.
Making new friends here is easy, with people from all over, lounging in their common areas, more than happy to strike up a conversation over beer or coffee (and their newly introduced coffee cocktails). They offer complimentary Wi-Fi, breakfasts, a fully equipped kitchen, lockers and of course, that unmistakable jungle vibe.
