Evara Stays Backpackers Hostel

Three kilometres south of Park Street along Rashbehari Avenue, Evara Stays sits opposite Lake Mall in the residential Ballygunge pocket — a rare hostel address that trades backpacker-strip noise for a neighbourhood of sweet shops and morning walkers.

The property runs adults-only with 24-hour front desk and security, cctv coverage inside and out, lockers, and soundproof rooms. A shared kitchen, shared lounge, and game room give communal life structure; themed dinners and walking tours connect guests to Bengali culture beyond the standard tourist circuit.

The tour desk handles onward travel, and a shuttle service covers the 8km to Howrah station. With a 9.3 rating across early reviews, the hostel earns its score on cleanliness protocols and the access-to-healthcare-professionals feature — unusual for budget accommodation in this price tier.
