Tucked into the deodar forests above Mashobra, Black Pearl Cottages is a small 8-villa property sitting just 5 minutes on foot from the Himalayan Nature Park — which makes it a genuinely useful base if you're travelling with a dog who needs daily walks in real forest. The villas are spacious, wood-lined, and come with private balconies overlooking the garden or mountains, so your dog gets fresh Himalayan air without you having to leave the property. Pets are confirmed allowed, with charges that may apply depending on your booking.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Pets are allowed at Black Pearl Cottages. A pet charge may apply — confirm the exact amount directly with the property at the time of booking. The property accepts cash payments only, so plan accordingly.
The Villas & What Dogs Get Out of Them
Black Pearl Cottages offers three villa categories — a One-Bedroom Villa (37 m²), Superior Villa (74 m²), and Two-Bedroom Villa (93 m²) — plus a larger Villa Garden View (929 m²) for groups. All villas come with fireplaces, heating, air conditioning, balconies, and parquet floors. The private balconies with mountain and garden views are genuinely good for dogs — open air, no crowds, and a natural hillside backdrop. The outdoor dining area and garden furniture mean your dog can hang around while you eat. Room service is available if you'd rather not leave.
Location for Dog Walks
This is where the property earns its place on a pet travel list. The Himalayan Nature Park is a 5-minute walk, Indira Tourist Park is 10 minutes on foot, and the Shimla Reserve Forest Sanctuary is a 25-minute walk away. For a dog that needs a proper outing, waking up to forest trails right outside the gate is a meaningful advantage over staying in Shimla town. The roads around Kufri and Mashobra are also reasonably manageable for leashed walks, though traffic can pick up on peak season weekends.
Practical Notes for Pet Parents
The property has free private on-site parking — useful if you've driven up with your dog and travel gear. Wi-Fi is free across all areas. Breakfast (vegetarian and Asian options) is available in-room, and the restaurant on site handles brunch, lunch, and dinner. Activities include cycling and badminton, which won't directly involve your dog, but the garden area and outdoor fireplace setup give you a proper evening wind-down space with your pet. Note that the property is cash-only — carry enough before you head up. Pet charges are not published; confirm when booking.
