The nature resort (Hariwar)

Sitting along the Haridwar–Rishikesh Chilla Canal Road near Vindhyavasini Temple in Bukandi, The Nature Resort is one of the few stays in the Haridwar region that openly welcomes pets — and does so without tacking on a pet surcharge. The location places you close to the Rajaji National Park buffer zone, away from the dense crowds of central Haridwar, and within easy reach of both Haridwar's ghats and the Rishikesh yoga corridor. Google reviewers consistently call it a great escape from city scenery, and the property's own name signals what the draw is: greenery, open air, and a slower pace.

The Setting

The resort sits in Bukandi village, a quieter pocket between Haridwar and Rishikesh that gives you road access to both towns without being swallowed by either. The Chilla Canal Road stretch is a known corridor for nature tourism — the Rajaji Tiger Reserve's Chilla zone is in this general area, which means the surrounding landscape is forested and relatively undeveloped. For dogs, that translates to fresher air, more open ground, and far less of the noise and traffic chaos that makes central Haridwar stressful for animals. Google reviewers describe it as a place that feels genuinely cut off from the city, which for pet parents travelling with anxious or large dogs is exactly the kind of buffer you want.

The property lists a pool, parking, Wi-Fi, free breakfast, laundry service, and room service among its on-site amenities. Parking on-site means you can pull up directly — no street parking scrambles when you're unloading a crate or wrangling dogs after a long drive. The pool is listed as a hotel amenity, but whether pets are permitted in or around the pool has not been confirmed — treat it as a human amenity unless you verify otherwise at check-in.

Pet Policy — What's Confirmed and What to Ask

The confirmed policy is straightforward: pets are welcome, and there is no pet fee charged at this property. Guests are expected to keep pets from disturbing others — standard resort etiquette. What the policy does not currently specify publicly is whether pets are allowed inside guest rooms, what size or breed restrictions (if any) apply, and whether there are designated outdoor areas for pets to relieve themselves or run. These are worth asking directly when you call to book.

The resort is independently run and reachable on 090686 95678. Based on Google reviews, the staff is described as responsive and the service as attentive — the kind of smaller property where a direct conversation before arrival tends to go a long way in making sure your stay with a dog is set up well from the start.

Getting Here and What to Know Before You Go

The full address is: Haridwar Rishikesh Chilla Canal Road Village, near Vindhyavasini Temple, Bukandi, Haridwar, Uttarakhand 246121. The Google Maps pin (linked via the listing) will get you there more reliably than the address alone, since Bukandi village is small and canal-road properties can be tricky to locate with just a street name. If you're driving from Delhi, the route typically goes via Roorkee or Muzaffarnagar — a 220–250 km drive depending on your starting point in the NCR. Haridwar itself is well-served by the NH-334, and Bukandi is accessible from the main highway before you hit central Haridwar.

The nearest major vet facilities are likely to be in Haridwar city or Rishikesh — confirm the nearest vet clinic's address and hours before your stay, especially if you're travelling with a dog that has any ongoing health needs. We have not confirmed a specific nearby vet for this listing.
