🐾Charges applyPet policy

If you've been hunting for a pet friendly stay near Bhimtal that sits well away from crowded lakeside hotels, Nanda Stone in Jilling is the kind of quiet Kumaon homestay that actually makes a dog-friendly road trip worthwhile. It's 45 km from Kathgodam railway station, making it reachable whether you're driving up from Delhi or arriving by train. Dogs of all sizes are welcome - though the terrain here is hilly, so your dog will need to be reasonably comfortable with hill walks.

🐾 For pet parents

Nanda Stone is verified to accept dogs, and all sizes are allowed - a real plus for pet parents travelling with larger breeds who are often turned away at hill properties. The terrain around Jilling involves hill hiking, so come prepared for that with your dog. Pet charges apply - confirm with the property before booking to get the exact figure and any conditions.

The Stay

Set in the Jilling area of Kumaon, Nanda Stone sits roughly 25 km from Bhimtal and 50 km from Nainital - close enough to both for a day out, but far enough to feel genuinely removed from the tourist rush. For anyone looking for a pet friendly hill station experience in Uttarakhand without the noise of a resort town, this homestay format means you're sharing space with the hosts rather than checking into a large property - a setup that often works far better for dogs anyway. The surrounding landscape is Kumaon at its unhurried best: ridge paths, oak canopy, and the kind of altitude that makes both you and your dog sleep deeply.
