If you are hunting for a pet friendly resort in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand that does not treat your dog like an afterthought, Shivadri Resort is worth knowing about. Set on 50,000 sq ft of open ground near Jumpin Heights on Neelkanth Road, it gives pets room to actually roam rather than just tolerate them indoors. It is one of the few properties in the area confirmed to allow dogs, cats, birds, and other pets without any extra charge.
🐾 For pet parents
Pets stay free, no extra charge, and this has been confirmed directly with the property rather than assumed from a listing site. On a phone verification call on 25 August 2026, resort manager Vivek Shukla confirmed to Gaurav Kumar that dogs, cats, birds, and all other pets are welcome with no breed or size restrictions. The one thing to keep in mind: pets are not permitted in the dining area or around the swimming pool, so plan meals and pool time accordingly.
The Stay
Shivadri Resort sits on Vijni Bari village land off Neelkanth Road, close to Jumpin Heights, giving it a genuinely open feel that is hard to find in Rishikesh's more crowded riverside stretches. With 50,000 sq ft of grounds, there is real space for a dog to stretch its legs between naps, which is exactly what a boutique nature resort should offer. As a resort that allows dogs without conditions on size or breed, it suits everything from a single Labrador to a pair of smaller companions travelling together.
The location, tucked away from the main Laxman Jhula and Tapovan hubs, makes this feel more like a countryside pause than a city-adjacent stay, which works well if you are road-tripping through Uttarakhand with a pet and want a night or two away from the noise before or after the more touristy parts of Rishikesh.
Pet Policy
Pets stay free, no extra charge, this is confirmed and applies across dogs, cats, birds, and other pets, with no breed restrictions and no size limits for dogs. The confirmed exceptions are the dining area and the swimming pool, where pets are not permitted, so meals and pool visits will need to happen without them. For details on leash requirements, pet bedding, or advance notice before arrival, it is best to confirm directly with the property at the time of booking. Everything else stated here, including the free pet policy itself, has been verified by phone with the resort's on-site manager.
