The worst thing about traveling when you have a pet is the constant worry about how your furry friend is doing each day you’re gone. It’s a terrible feeling – having to leave a family member home from a trip. There is always a pang of guilt brought on by their big sad eyes and a tilted head, asking why you’re leaving. No more guilt, we say, your pet should be able to enjoy the new experiences, sights, and smells and of course the extra attention from the family. That is why this week we’ve curated a list of places you and pooch can have a great time together.
1. Flameback Lodges, Chikmagalur, Karnataka
When three German Shepherds greet you at a retreat, you know your pet will fit right in. Surrounded by a 300-acre plantation, Flameback Lodges provides you and your doggo that much-needed break from the concrete jungle amidst coffee and paddy plantations. Enjoy your meals at the heart of this haven with stunning panoramic views of the valley, forest and hills beyond, take a trek around the coffee plantation and watch your pooch chase after the abundant birdlife or take a dip in the nearby waterfalls – there is always something to entertain you and your pet here.
2. The White Peaks, Nainital, Uttarakhand
This is a charming little private cottage located in Gagar and is nestled amidst glistening silver oak forests on all three sides. It is perfect for those who wish to spend some down time or escape the cacophony of big cities with their furry friends. Shower your pet with the extra attention they deserve at this home stay you’ll have all to yourselves – with a cozy fireplace and a sun- drenched courtyard that offers a dramatic, 180 degree view of the imposing snow-covered Himalayan peaks, there are enough open spaces for you and your pets to play and spend some quality time together.
3. Tree of Life Resort & Spa, Jaipur, Rajasthan
Tree Of Life is set on seven acres of land in the magnificent surroundings of Aravalli Hills. Built with traditional sandstone and lime, the hideaway stays true to the architectural heritage of Rajasthan. So, you have a feeling that you have traveled back in time. Each villa has its private lawn and backyard for you and your pupper to play fetch or simply take leisurely strolls.If you are in a more adventurous mood, take a mountain-bike and ride through the neighbouring village to explore the surroundings for yourselves or maybe a fun splash in the pool for both of would be a great way to make your getaway more enjoyable for your furry friend.
4. Lalit Resort & Spa, Bekal, Kerala
This stunning property is a serene abode nestled amidst landscaped gardens and a private lagoon overlooking a pristine white beach – perfect for long walks with your pet. Although you would probably want to laze around at this tranquil destination, there are quite a lot of leisure activities to enjoy as well – from playing badminton to a personalized yoga session followed by fishing, kayaking and canoeing! And of course, you’ll have your non-human companion enjoying every bit of the stay too!
5. Fort Unchagaon, Garhmukhteshwar, Uttar Pradesh
Equipped with every imaginable modern amenity possible, this retreat is a much loved getaway for those who want a taste of 18th century zamindari culture. It is sprawled over 10 acres and surrounded by thick mango groves. You and your pooch won’t be bored here, if not just a simple game of fetch, you can engage in the many cultural and sports activities here like horse riding while your dog gives chase or pottery making, croquet and more.
