Tucked into the Smanora Range above Nainital, Kaansya Resort by Mountain Magic is one of the few properties in this pocket of Uttarakhand that has actually put its pet policy on record. If you're hunting for a pet friendly hotel in Nainital that won't charge you extra for bringing your dog along on a hill escape, this is worth adding to your shortlist.
🐾 For pet parents
Pets stay free, no extra charge, and this was confirmed by phone on 3 September 2026 with Mr. Rahul Negi at the property, verified by Neeraj Patel. Both dogs and cats are welcome at Kaansya Resort. Specifics on dog size limits, breed restrictions, and how many pets are allowed per room haven't been confirmed by the property yet, so it's worth calling ahead of your stay. Keep the front desk number handy and check in on any room-specific rules before you arrive with your dog or cat.
The Stay
Set along the road in the Smanora Range, Kaansya Resort by Mountain Magic sits in one of Nainital's quieter, higher-altitude pockets, away from the usual mall road crowd. It's the kind of address that suits pet parents looking for a dog friendly Uttarakhand hill stay where the surroundings do the talking rather than a packed itinerary.
Given the location deep in the Smanora Range, this reads more as an overnight or multi-day hill stay than a quick day stop, well suited to travellers driving up from the plains with a dog or cat in tow and looking to settle in rather than rush through.
Pet Policy
Kaansya Resort's pet policy is straightforward on the point that matters most to most travellers: pets stay free, no extra charge, at this property. Dogs and cats are both allowed. What hasn't been detailed yet is whether there are size or weight limits for dogs, any breed restrictions, or a cap on the number of pets per room, so these should be confirmed directly with the resort before you book. If your pet has specific needs around bedding, food bowls, or access to particular parts of the property, it's best to ask Mr. Rahul Negi or the team on call so there are no surprises at check-in.
Why pet parents will love this place
The pet-friendly case for Kaansya Resort by Mountain Magic
A confirmed no pet fee policy is genuinely hard to find in the Smanora Range, and Kaansya Resort has this in writing after a direct phone verification with the property. For pet parents who've been burnt by hotels that quote pet charges only at check-in, that certainty alone makes this a dependable stop on a Nainital route.
