The Hosteller Rishikesh, Ganges

Finding a pet friendly hostel in Rishikesh that genuinely welcomes your dog or cat - without slapping on a surprise fee at checkout - is rarer than it should be. The Hosteller Rishikesh, Ganges, located in the Laxman Jhula area, is one of those uncommon finds: a social, budget-friendly hostel that allows pets in India and treats your animal companion as part of the plan, not an afterthought.

The Stay

Positioned at Dharam Yatri Niwas in the Laxman Jhula pocket of Rishikesh, The Hosteller Ganges property sits in one of the town's most walkable and characterful stretches - close to the river's energy without the chaos of the main bazaar. As a dog friendly hostel in India under the well-known Hosteller brand, it draws a crowd of backpackers and solo travellers who tend to be relaxed, community-minded folk - generally the best kind of humans to share a common area with when you've got a dog in tow. If you're driving up from Delhi or Dehradun for a long weekend, this is the sort of place where your pet won't feel like a logistical problem.
