Tucked into the pine-covered hills of Mashobra — about 18 km from Shimla Railway Station — DLS Hillcrest Resort is a mid-scale property with panoramic mountain views, a lawned outdoor space, and a straightforward pets-allowed policy. It's the kind of place that works well if you're driving up from Delhi or Chandigarh and want a quiet hillside base without city-centre crowds. The resort sits close to Naldehra, so there's decent walking country on your doorstep for a dog who needs to stretch after a long road trip.
✓ Confirmed by the property
The property has confirmed that pets are allowed. There are no resident animals on the premises. Pet charges have not been disclosed — call ahead on 093503 85226 to confirm whether a pet fee applies before you book.
What the Property Offers
DLS Hillcrest has two main room categories worth knowing about: the Super Deluxe Room (160 sq. ft., king bed, up to 4 guests) and the larger Executive Premium Room (204 sq. ft., king bed, sofa set, mountain views). Both come with the standard resort amenities — tea/coffee maker, TV, en-suite bathrooms, and room service. The resort also has a gym, a lawn area that's visible in their property photos, a table tennis space, and a multi-cuisine restaurant on-site. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are included, which matters if you're arriving by car with a dog in the back seat.
Around Mashobra — Good for Dogs?
Mashobra itself is quieter than Shimla town and that's honestly its biggest draw for pet travellers. The roads around Naldehra are less chaotic than the Mall Road circuit, and the pine forest edges make for decent sniff-and-walk territory. Pahadiya Adventure is reportedly 3.3 km away if you're looking for structured outdoor activity, and the Naldehra Golf Course area offers open grounds for a casual stroll. None of this is verified by our team on the ground, but the elevation and setting are genuinely better for a relaxed dog walk than central Shimla.
Things to Sort Before You Arrive
The pet policy confirms pets are allowed but gives no detail on weight limits, number of pets permitted, or whether dogs can be in the rooms. The booking platform listing does not specify in-room access either. Call the property directly — 093503 85226 — to confirm whether your dog stays in the room with you, and whether there's a per-night pet charge. Sorting this before check-in will save you a surprise at the front desk. Also note: the property does not accept PAN Cards as ID, and local residents from Shimla may be refused accommodation — worth knowing if you're travelling with friends from the area.
