Mussoorie–Dhanaulti
Location
Himalayan Splendour Resort sits between Mussoorie and Dhanaulti in the pine forests of Rautu Ki Beli, Uttarakhand — and it actively courts pet parents rather than just tolerating them. The resort calls itself a Pet Friendly Sanctuary, has a resident Golden Retriever named Mojo as its self-declared Chief Trekking Officer, and charges nothing extra for your dog to stay. For a mountain property at this altitude, that combination is genuinely rare.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Himalayan Splendour Resort has confirmed that all pets are welcome and their stay is complimentary. Pet meal options (chicken rice and veggie rice) are available at an additional charge. The property does not provide pet bedding or food bowls — pack your own.
What the property actually offers dogs
The resort lists pet-friendly rooms, open outdoor spaces, nature walks for pets, and a safe and calm environment as its four headline pet amenities. The surrounding pine forest means your dog gets real trail air instead of a token lawn — Mojo the resident Golden apparently knows the secret pine trails well. Room options range from a 220 sq ft Standard Room with valley view all the way up to a 610 sq ft Suite with panoramic mountain views, so there's space for larger dogs too. The Deluxe Suite with Garden gives direct access to a private manicured garden, which is worth flagging if your dog needs easy outdoor access without a long walk to the grounds.
Feeding your dog here — what to know before you arrive
The resort offers two chargeable pet meal options: chicken rice and veggie rice. If your dog is on a prescription diet or specific brand of kibble, bring enough food for the full stay — there's no mention of outside food being available at the property. More importantly, the property is explicit that pet bedding and food bowls are not provided. This isn't a dealbreaker, but it does mean your packing list needs to include a travel bowl and your dog's bed or mat. For a mountain trip where you're already hauling gear, factor that in early.
The setting and what's nearby
The resort's location between Mussoorie and Dhanaulti puts it close to Surkanda Devi Temple and Eco Park — both accessible by road. The pine forest surroundings make for morning walks that feel genuinely remote without being far from connectivity. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM, with early check-in and late check-out subject to availability. If you're driving up from Dehradun, the Uttarkashi Road approach through Rautu Ki Beli village is the one to follow — the full address is Village Rautu Ki Beli, Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand 249180.
