Planning a family holiday is exciting. Planning one with your dog can be a little more complicated. Beyond finding a comfortable room, you need to know whether your pet will be accepted, what restrictions apply and whether everyone in the family can enjoy the stay.
If you are looking for a pet-friendly resort in Rishikesh, The Neeraj River Forest Resort offers a peaceful setting worth exploring. Located on Cheela Dam–Rishikesh Road near Rajaji National Park, this 24-room retreat combines greenery, comfortable accommodation, wellness experiences and access to Rishikesh's attractions.
Pet accommodation is available for consideration on request, so contacting our reservations team before booking is essential.
Here is what to know before planning your stay.
Can You Stay at The Neeraj River Forest Resort With Your Pet?
We understand that pets are part of the family. That is why our team welcomes enquiries from guests who want to bring their four-legged companions on holiday.
However, pet accommodation must be confirmed in advance. Before making a reservation, please contact us with details of your pet so our team can explain whether we can accommodate your request.
Confirming everything before arrival will help you choose suitable accommodation and avoid unexpected restrictions at check-in.
What to Confirm Before Booking
Every family travels differently, and pet requirements vary. Before finalising your stay, ask our reservations team about:
- Pet eligibility: Which animals, breeds, sizes and numbers of pets can be accommodated?
- Room availability: Which room categories are approved for guests travelling with pets?
- Pet charges: Are there any accommodation fees, cleaning charges or deposits?
- Permitted areas: Where can pets go within the resort, including gardens and common spaces?
- House rules: What are the requirements for supervision, leads, cleaning and pet behaviour?
- Pet essentials: Should you bring your pet's food, bedding, bowls and other supplies?
These details should be confirmed directly rather than assumed from a third-party hotel listing.
A Few Tips for a Comfortable Stay
Bring your pet's regular food, drinking bowl, bedding, lead, waste bags and any necessary medication. Familiar belongings can make an unfamiliar room more comfortable.
Keep your pet supervised and follow the resort's confirmed rules for outdoor spaces. The property is close to forest landscapes and wildlife habitats, so pets should not be allowed to roam into surrounding forest areas.
If you are planning a longer visit or travelling with more than one pet, discuss your requirements with the reservations team in advance.
