Northern India Budget Accommodation and Backpackers Hotels

Budget and backpacker hotels in Northern India are somehow easy to find but in the end, you don’t know which ones to choose.

On this page, I write step-by-step practical information, photos, and respective prices. Cheap hostels and hotels I stayed in India.

This is the list of places I stayed during my 20-day trip to Northern India – from Kolkata to New Delhi via Srinagar and Leh. I always got budget accommodation choices.

My favorites

On that previous trip, my TOP 5 accommodation in India were:

1. Boat Hotel Green View in Srinagar, India
2. Puja Guest House in Varanasi, India
3. Saiman Guest House in Leh, India
4. Hotel Sai Palace in Agra, India
5. Cottage Ganga Inn in New Delhi, India

Geographic order of these hotels:

Kolkata – Varanasi – Agra – Jaipur – Amritsar – Srinagar – Kargil – Leh – New Delhi
