The Stay
Anand Kashi by the Ganges sits right on the Ganga banks near Rishikesh, positioning it as one of the more distinctive pet friendly hill station stays in Uttarakhand for travellers who want the river as their backdrop rather than the usual market-area hotel. As a luxury boutique property, it draws guests looking for a quieter, more curated riverside base near Rishikesh rather than a backpacker hub.
The location, just off Badrinath Marg near the 23rd milestone in Gular Dogi, Bhairgarh, makes it a workable overnight stop for those driving up from Dehradun or Haridwar with a dog or cat, rather than a same-day outing. Given the luxury positioning and small-dog policy, it suits pet parents with a calm, compact companion more than those travelling with a large breed.
