Drifters' inn gave us 'an especially for you' feel. We were on a drive down road trip, our first trip to the Himachal, and Nishant was in touch, guiding us through the Journey. Nishant, the owner, knows in and around Himachal quite well This place is a small cool cosy nest away from the hustle bustle of the Mall road.... More

We booked drifters based on the reviews on tripadvisor. as insited by Nishant (who runs the show) we went for the family room that was priced at Rs 1600 per night for a room that accomodates 4 adults. The room is decently furnished and id say is worth every buck you pay.The service is good too.We often left our rooms... More

I spent 6 nights here and I had a blast. For the first 5 nights I stayed in the superior room and on the final night at a standard room on the second floor. Both were very comfortable with clean bathrooms. The food at Drifter's was the best I've had during my 10 and half weeks sojourn in India. Coupled... More

If you are in Manali & you do not visit Drifters you are definitely missing out on something fabulous. The atmosphere is a different incident all together & a marvelous view of the mountains from this Inn in Old Manali. I can write down about my Drifters Inn experience all day long, but to sum up swiftly …Hygienic Rooms, Yummy... More

I stayed there last year with a few friends, it's without doubt the best place to stay in manali. clean rooms, great balcony, brilliant cafe! the pizzas at the cafe are fantastic! the only slight issue is the parking when the place is filled up, but eventually you get accommodated. The prices are great too! More

Drifter's is very quaint! A back packers haven! The rooms are baic but spacious clean and comfortable! The Food is excellent. We stayed with family and had a great time out here! If there is anything to Complain about it is that the Old Manali approach road is a painfully narrow, causing many avoidable traffic blocks. The road should have... More

The main ingredient that makes Drifters so great is Nishant, the manager. A young, ex-corporate guy with the perfect personality and professionalism to bring a very high level of quality to a very inexpensive place. Bravo! I could tell from his email communication during booking that Nishant had his act together. Organized, courteous and timely. I changed my reservation three... More

We were treated very nicely and with personal touches. The food is excellent, so is the ambiance and the music. The service is nice, and the people there do give helpful... More
