We believe our resort, its construction, its motivation, and its activities are unlike anything on offer not only in India but across the Asia pacific region from where we have collated our ideas. The goal of Bamboostix is to raise the standard of backpacking in India by providing clean, fun, professional, and quality accommodation at a fair price. With a plethora of activities our idea is to shift the focus from being "just a place to stay" to an entire experience.

We have special events like art weekends, halloween parties, backpacker competitions, so make a booking and let us entertain you!
