“A solo traveller arriving off a late train finds the one-kilometre walk from Jaipur Railway Station short enough to make Moustache the easiest first stop in Jaipur, and the rooftop bar downstairs means there's already a crowd to fall into on night one rather than a quiet dorm and a closed common room. The safety and social sides both benefit from that built-in group, though it's worth checking in before the pub crawl group forms if an early night is the actual plan.”
Moustache Jaipur, Hostel & Rooftop Bar sits in the city centre with a rooftop terrace looking straight at Nahargarh Fort. Rajasthani-styled dorms come with privacy curtains, lockers and reading lights. The property runs pub crawls and hiking trips, 1 km from Jaipur Railway Station.
Arrive on the rooftop by 6pm for a bench facing Nahargarh Fort before the regular pub crawl group claims the best spots.
Book a dorm away from the rooftop stairwell if you want to sleep before the bar itself quiets down late.
Ask reception about the guided hiking trip a day ahead, spots go fast among the pub crawl regulars.
Use the games room and library during the slower daytime hours, the rooftop only really comes alive from early evening.
Walk the kilometre to Jaipur Railway Station rather than book an auto, it's flat and quick outside rush hour.
