Tucked along Shanag Road in Bahang, Storii Urvashi's Retreat is a pet friendly resort in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, where dogs, cats, birds and pretty much any pet you bring along are genuinely welcome — not just tolerated. For anyone planning to travel with dogs in Manali or searching for pets allowed Manali stays that don't hedge on the details, this is one of the more straightforward options in the hills. The property sits under the ITC Storii umbrella, which means a certain baseline of hospitality standards, but what matters here is that the pet policy has been confirmed line by line — not lifted from a website blurb.
✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
This listing was confirmed by phone on 18 September 2026, verified by Komal Bhadu, who spoke directly with the property's team to check the policy line by line. Pet charge: ₹3,000/night as a deep-cleaning charge, plus a ₹15,000 refundable security deposit collected at check-in. Dogs, cats, birds and all pets of all sizes are allowed in both indoor and outdoor areas, with a leash required whenever your pet is outside. Breed restrictions are not confirmed — if you're travelling with a specific breed, call the property directly before booking.
The Setting
Bahang is a village that sits just beyond the main Manali stretch — past the tourist market noise, past the mall road foot traffic, and into a pocket of the valley that still feels like it belongs to the mountains rather than the season. Shanag Road runs through this quieter corridor, and Storii Urvashi's Retreat is positioned here, which matters more than it might seem when you're travelling with a dog. arriving in Manali without navigating your dog through peak-season crowds is not a small thing — especially on a road trip where your pet has already been in the car for six or seven hours.
The property is part of the Storii by ITC Hotels collection, a brand that positions itself around heritage and curated experiences. In Manali, that translates to a resort-style property with the kind of infrastructure — parking, grounds, in-room amenities — that makes multi-night stays practical rather than just possible. If you're driving up from Delhi or Chandigarh with a dog in the back seat, the fact that parking is available on-site is worth noting before you even get to the pet policy.
The Pet Policy — What's Actually Confirmed
Storii Urvashi's Retreat charges ₹3,000 per night as a deep-cleaning charge for guests travelling with pets. This is on top of your room rate, and it's a nightly charge, not a one-time fee for the stay. In addition, the property collects a ₹15,000 refundable security deposit at check-in — returned at checkout, subject to no damage. Both figures were confirmed directly by phone, not sourced from the website, so these are the numbers as of September 2026.
The pet access scope here is notably broad. Dogs, cats, birds and all pets of every size are permitted — both indoors and outdoors on the property. There is no size cap, no weight limit, and no restriction to a single pet type. large dogs welcome with no size ceiling is something you'll find at a minority of Manali stays, so it's worth calling out plainly. Pets must be kept on a leash in all outdoor areas — that's a firm condition, not a suggestion. It applies in the grounds, pathways and any external common areas.
One honest gap: breed restrictions are not confirmed either way. The property's team did not specify whether certain breeds are excluded. If you're travelling with a breed that sometimes triggers restrictions — Rottweiler, Dobermann, Pit Bull type — call the property directly before booking. It takes five minutes and saves a difficult conversation at the front desk.
What This Stay Suits Best
Given the security deposit and deep-cleaning charge structure, this is clearly designed for overnight and multi-night guests — not day visitors or passers-through. The deposit alone signals that the property takes pet stays seriously enough to create a formal financial framework around them, which, from a pet parent's perspective, is actually reassuring. Properties that allow pets without any structure tend to be the ones where the policy quietly evaporates at check-in.
This works well for road-trippers making Manali a destination stop rather than a detour. If you're coming up from Delhi NCR, Chandigarh, or even Amritsar with a dog, a two or three night stay that gives your pet time to decompress after a long drive makes more sense than a rushed overnight. The Bahang location also means your dog has a quieter base to explore from — the Beas river and surrounding trails are accessible, and the village environment is easier to manage than the main Manali market area.
For multi-pet households — say, a dog and a cat, or two dogs — the confirmed all-pet, all-size policy is genuinely useful. Most pet friendly resorts in Manali stop at one dog under a weight threshold. A stay that covers both your Labrador and your rescue cat under the same roof, confirmed in advance, is not something to scroll past.
The pet-friendly case for Storii Urvashi's Retreat
Most pet friendly stays in Manali quietly limit themselves to small dogs or single-pet bookings, but this resort's confirmed policy covers dogs, cats, birds and all pets of every size, indoors and outdoors alike. That kind of breadth, backed by a phone-verified pet charge and deposit structure, makes it easier to plan a trip without last-minute surprises at check-in. For pet parents who've been burned by vague online policies before, the fact that these numbers were verified over a direct phone call counts for something.
What We Haven't Confirmed Yet
A few things worth checking directly with the property before you arrive: whether the dining areas are accessible with pets (common areas confirmed, restaurant access not specified); whether the ₹3,000 deep-cleaning charge applies per pet or per room; and whether there's a maximum number of pets permitted per booking. None of these are dealbreakers, but they're the kind of detail that's easier to clarify in a two-minute phone call than to sort out at reception with a tired dog beside you.
