Last month, Priya from Mumbai quit her job and came here for one week. She ended up staying three weeks and came back twice already. "I was lost after leaving my corporate job," she told me over chai on our rooftop. "But talking to other travelers here helped me decide to become a yoga teacher."
Now she runs classes in Mumbai and says Skyard changed her life completely.
We're 200 meters from Laxman Jhula Bridge - you can walk to everything. Been running this place since 2018 and hosted thousands of travelers from all over India and 47 countries.
Rohit manages our front desk and knows everyone who comes here. "We have regulars like Amit from Delhi who comes every Diwali, and Jessica from Germany who's done her yoga training here three times," he says. That's how you know a place is good - people keep coming back.
We've got 6-bed and 8-bed dorms with privacy curtains, personal lights, and big lockers. Each bed has its own charging point - super important these days.
Ankit from Jaipur was nervous about solo travel but made friends within hours. They went trekking to Kunjapuri Temple together the next day. That happens here all the time. Our common area is always buzzing - last week we had people from Punjab, Kerala, Netherlands cooking together and planning trips.
Kavya from Bangalore stayed a month working remotely. She loved having reliable wifi and quiet spaces when needed.
Our private rooms have mountain and Ganga views without the hotel prices. Deepak and Meera from Pune celebrated their anniversary here. "Watching sunrise from our balcony was incredible," Meera said.
Hot water 24/7, good wifi, daily cleaning. Suresh maintains everything perfectly - no broken taps or flickering lights like other places.
