Grham Hostel & Café sits in Katagla village, about 2 km before the Kasol main market, with one of the best valley views in Kasol. It’s a place for people who come to the mountains looking for more than just staying in the crowded market.

Mornings begin with sunlight over the valley, slow breakfasts in the garden, and the kind of quiet that makes the day stretch a little longer. Grham is designed to bring people together naturally.

Shared spaces, garden corners, and long café tables make it easy to meet others, whether it’s over a board game, a meal, or a conversation that lasts longer than planned. Social when you want it, comfortable when you don’t.

Our dorms are built for proper rest with spacious bunks, while the private rooms offer a relaxed space to unwind after a day exploring the Parvati Valley. At the heart of it all is the café, serving fresh, comforting food that keeps people lingering long after the plates are cleared.

The minds and hearts shaping every experience

Founder & COO

Anand

Following his engineering days, Anand learned the ropes of hospitality at Stayers, a small stay in Manali. He then scaled up to build Grham Hostel, taking on all the heavy manual labor to get the property ready. From sweeping and mopping to painting the walls, he got his hands completely dirty to bring this place to life. He poured immense effort into making Grham happen, but he never takes things too seriously. You will almost always spot him around the property cracking jokes and keeping the vibe light.

Upasana

After eight years in digital media, Upasana left the corporate screen to open a homestay in Manali. The journey took a detour, leading her to open Grham Hostel instead. She poured her heart into building a space designed entirely for genuine social connection. If you hear someone getting fiercely competitive over a board game in the common area, it is almost certainly her.
