No Weight LimitSunshine Resort Pokhara Dog Friendly Review
Sunshine Resort Pokhara holds an acceptable C Roch Rank for owners travelling with dogs. Set in a thinly populated village with a community forest behind and a clean river below, it offers generous access to public areas, including several well maintained gardens, a patio and coffee shop, a bar, and a lounge where your dog can wander around accompanied. Walking routes are easy to find, with the river below, the village to either side, and a hilltop roughly forty five minutes up the hill. A vet mobile number is kept on hand, and cats are also welcome to stay, which speaks to a genuinely animal friendly outlook.
Day to day, your dog is free to join you in the bar, the restaurant's patio, the lounge and the gardens, with the only likely exception being if young children object to his presence. A dog wash area is available next to the staff cafeteria, and you may bring your own dog food or use the kitchen's offerings when available. You can leave your dog alone in the room, for instance while you dine, and the hotel can arrange an evening or two of dog sitting if you want to go out without him. There are no deposits or charges taken for pets, and only one dog is permitted per room.
There is no dog bed, no real food or water bowls, no dog toys and no poop bags provided, and the hotel does not offer a dog walking service or grooming arrangements. There is no record of staff having had canine guest training, nor of dog friendly activities, events, awards or charity support. This suits an owner with a calm, well behaved dog who is happy to self-sufficiently manage food, bedding and walks in exchange for wide run of the property's gardens, patio, bar and lounge. Owners wanting structured pet amenities, grooming or organised dog activities should look elsewhere.
