Astraal Resort and Spa (Rishikesh)

Astraal Resort and Spa sits in Village Bhaiten near Narendra Nagar, tucked into forested hills along the Havel river - a tributary of the Ganges - about 32 km from Rishikesh on NH-94. The setting is genuinely quiet: no town noise, just rivers, trees, and the kind of air that makes your dog stop and sniff everything. The resort runs cluster cottages with a multi-cuisine restaurant, a spa, and indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

The Setting for Dogs

Astraal's location in the Havel valley means the surroundings do a lot of the heavy lifting for you as a pet parent. The forested hills around the property give dogs a genuinely stimulating environment - the kind of walk where your dog's nose barely leaves the ground. The resort's cottages overlook spice gardens and mountain slopes, so there is open space between units rather than cramped corridors. Guests have described the welcome as warm and the grounds as calm, which tends to translate well for dogs who need a low-stress environment to settle in.

What the Property Offers

The resort has eight cottages, a multi-cuisine restaurant serving breakfast buffet, a spa, and both indoor and outdoor sports facilities. Free parking is available on-site, which matters when you are travelling with dogs and need to unload crates, food, and gear without rushing. A 24-hour front desk means there is always someone to reach if you need assistance with your pet during odd hours. The property is also accessible and child-friendly, making it a reasonable choice for families travelling with both kids and dogs. The kind of place where the evening breeze off the hills does more than any spa treatment could.

Things to Keep in Mind

Air conditioning is available only in some rooms, so if you are travelling in summer with a heavy-coated breed, confirm your specific room's facilities at the time of booking. The property does not have a hot tub or fitness centre, but the spa is operational. The resort is 32 km from central Rishikesh - there is no quick pop out to a pet store if you forget supplies, so pack as if you are heading somewhere genuinely remote. Pet policy specifics - especially which areas of the property dogs may access - should be confirmed directly with the resort before arrival, as the listing does not specify this in detail.

The resort is located on NH-94 at Village Bhaiten (Fakot), Tehsil Narendra Nagar, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand 249175. The nearest major city is Rishikesh, approximately 32 km away. Airport shuttle service is available from the property at an extra charge. Local shuttle service is also offered. Free on-site parking is available for self-drive guests.
