Company information

International Travellers’ Hostel (ITH) was made by a traveller for other travellers. The inspiration: Growing up with travelling parents; a college exchange programme ending with a backpacking trip through Scotland & England (2007), then a summer-long Euro Trip (2010) a few years later. Eventually ‘The Hostel in Varanasi’ opened its doors to travellers near Varanasi’s main train station. ITH has since expanded to include homestays in its portfolio. Our newest addition — the Luxury Cottage 'Hibiscus' — is an important addition to our success story. We also operate a homestay at Teliyana in Varanasi, and a holiday home in Valencia, Spain.
