If you're planning a Himalayan foothills escape with your dog or cat in tow, The Palms Resort by Crystona Hotels is one of the more reassuring names on the list of pet friendly resort Rishikesh options, since the property has confirmed, over a direct phone call, that pets are genuinely welcome here. It sits in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, a stretch of India that's usually far friendlier to backpackers than to four-legged travellers, which makes a verified luxury pet friendly stay India option like this one worth noting down.
🐾 For pet parents
Here's the good news stated plainly: pets stay free, no extra charge, at The Palms Resort. Both dogs and cats are allowed, with no restriction on dog size or breed confirmed by the property. This isn't a guess pulled off a listing site either, our team called Crystona Hotels directly on 26 August 2026 and had the pet policy confirmed in person by Divya Bakshi, who verified the details on record with the property's team. That said, this is a luxury property, so while the base pet policy is free, it's worth a quick call to confirm anything specific to your stay before you book.
The Stay
The Palms Resort operates under the Crystona Hotels banner in Rishikesh, positioning itself as a luxury resort rather than a budget stopover, which is exactly the kind of property that pet parents often assume will say no before they even ask. Here, that assumption doesn't hold: this is a dog friendly resort Rishikesh travellers can actually book with their pets rather than working around them.
Rishikesh itself works well for an overnight or multi-day stay with pets, whether you're passing through on a longer Uttarakhand road trip or basing yourself here for a few days by the hills. Because the property is set up for longer luxury stays rather than quick transit halts, it suits pet parents looking for a proper base rather than a one-night stopover.

Details on which areas of the property pets can access, on-site pet amenities such as bowls or bedding, and any advance notice requirements were not confirmed during the verification call, so it's best to check these directly with the Crystona Hotels team when you book.
