Rishikesh, the yoga capital of India, also welcomes pets at several resorts set along the Ganges and amid forested hills. These pet-friendly resorts offer outdoor pools, spacious gardens, and mountain or river views, providing ample space for you and your pet to roam. Options range from the adventure-focused Atali Ganga Resort with its kayaking and ropes course to the serene Neer Ganga Resorts with a swimming pool and mountain vistas. Most resorts are within a 30-minute drive from Rishikesh city center, with some near Laxman Jhula.
For a superb-rated experience, Shoolin Jungle Resort (guest score 9.0) offers garden-view rooms and a buffet breakfast in a tranquil jungle setting. Oneness Rishikesh By Ganga Kinare provides a private beach area along the river, while The Neeraj River Forest Resort combines a wellness center with an outdoor pool and family-friendly activities. When booking, confirm the pet policy-some resorts may require a deposit or have size restrictions-and consider rooms with direct garden access for easier pet walks.
