✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
Ganga Serenity has been confirmed as a pet-accepting property with an additional charge of ₹500 per day for pets. Always call ahead on 070787 98210 to confirm availability for your dog's size and breed before booking — hotel policies can change seasonally.
The Setting
Bhupatwala is a quieter residential stretch on the outskirts of Haridwar's busy pilgrim belt, sitting behind the well-known Rasoi Dhaba on the lane leading into Satyam Vihar Colony. This positioning gives you easy access to Har Ki Pauri and the Ganga ghats without being right in the middle of the most congested areas of the city. For pet parents, that matters — the narrow, crowd-heavy lanes closer to the main ghat can be stressful for dogs, especially during peak aarti hours in the evenings. Being a lane or two removed means your morning walk with your dog can be a far calmer experience than it would be from a property right on the ghee-and-marigold strip.
Google reviewers highlight good location and very satisfying service, and multiple mentions of staff politeness suggest the team here is accommodating — a quality that tends to extend to travelling pet parents as well. Vegetarian meals are available on-site, which is standard for Haridwar given it is a strictly vegetarian city. The hotel also offers laundry service and a paid breakfast option, useful for longer stays.
Pet Policy at Ganga Serenity
The property charges ₹500 per day for each pet accompanying a guest. This is a relatively modest pet charge by North India hotel standards and puts Ganga Serenity in a more accessible bracket for dog owners. Beyond the per-day charge, the specifics — weight limits, breed restrictions, whether your pet stays in the room with you — have not been confirmed at the time of listing. Always call the property directly on 070787 98210 before making your reservation to confirm current pet policy, including whether your specific breed is welcome and what the in-room arrangement looks like.
Free parking is available, which is genuinely useful when travelling with a dog — you are likely arriving by car with a boot full of your pet's gear, and not having to hunt for paid parking near the ghats is a real convenience. The air-conditioned rooms will be appreciated during Haridwar's warm summers, when temperatures can climb into the mid-30s Celsius.
Travelling to Haridwar with a Dog — What to Know
Haridwar is a pilgrimage city and one of the four sites of the Kumbh Mela. The city itself is entirely vegetarian and non-alcoholic, and the ghats are high-traffic zones, particularly at dawn and dusk during the Ganga Aarti. Most of the main ghat areas are not dog-friendly in a practical sense — crowds are dense, bells are loud, and the narrow stone steps can be disorienting for an anxious dog. That said, the Ganga riverbank stretches further upstream near Bhupatwala and Motichur are quieter, and early morning walks along those stretches can be genuinely peaceful for both you and your dog.
Haridwar is roughly 200 km from Delhi, making it a realistic weekend destination for pet parents based in the Delhi NCR or Dehradun. The road journey via NH58 typically takes around 4–5 hours depending on traffic. Haridwar Railway Station is well-connected and less than 3 km from Bhupatwala, though train travel with pets in India requires advance planning and a confirmed guard's van booking.
