Zostel debuts in Assam ahead of the Ambubachi Mela

The property features dormitories and private rooms alongside communal spaces and is designed as a base from which travellers can be full with the city.

Zostel has officially launched Zostel Guwahati, marking its entry into Assam’s capital, Guwahati. The property sits on the riverside outskirts of the city and is designed as a base from which travellers can engage fully with the city. The property features dormitories and private rooms alongside expansive communal spaces.

The launch arrives ahead of the Ambubachi Mela, held annually every June at the Kamakhya Temple. This year’s festival runs from June 22 to June 26, drawing lakhs of devotees, tantriks, and sadhus from across the country and beyond.

Aviral Gupta, CEO, Zostel and Zo World, said, “Guwahati is not a waypoint. It is a world unto itself, and it has long been the most underserved region in Indian travel. That is precisely why we are here. The travellers who seek out Zostel are not looking for comfort at scale. They are looking for encounters that stay with them, that shift something in how they see the country and themselves. Guwahati, with its riverfront energy, its ancient goddess, and its position as the threshold to eight extraordinary states, is exactly the kind of destination Zostel was built for.”

The launch continues Zostel’s expansion into destinations where geography, mythology, and lived culture come together in ways that leave a mark on the traveller rather than simply passing them through.
