🐾₹No pet chargesPet policy

Finding a pet friendly hostel in Rishikesh where you can pull up after a long road trip from Delhi or Dehradun - dog on the back seat, budget intact - without being turned away at the door is genuinely rare. The Hosteller Rishikesh, Upper Tapovan sits on Balaknath Road in the quieter, less chaotic pocket of Upper Tapovan, putting you within reach of the Garhwal foothills without the noise of the main market crowding in on you and your pet.

🐾 For pet parents

This is a verified pet friendly stay - dogs and cats are both welcome, and all dog sizes are accepted, so whether you are travelling with a Labrador or a Indie mix, you will not be asked to leave. Pet charge: ₹No pet charges/night. That means zero add-on fees for bringing your pet along, which is a meaningful relief for anyone doing a budget pet stay in Rishikesh.

The Stay

Hostels that allow pets in India are still the exception rather than the rule, which makes The Hosteller's open-door policy genuinely noteworthy for the growing community of dog friendly travellers. Upper Tapovan itself is a low-key base - quieter roads, greener surroundings, and a slower pace that suits pet parents who want to explore Rishikesh without dragging an anxious animal through crowded ghats all day. Whether you are solo backpacking with a cat carrier or road-tripping as a pair with your dog, the location keeps things manageable.
