Little Mastiff Dharamshala Airport sits right on the edge of the Dhauladhar Ranges, just 1 kilometre from Gaggal Airport — making it one of the most conveniently located pet-friendly hotels in the Kangra valley. Dogs and cats are welcome at no extra charge, and the property backs it up with panoramic views of snow-capped peaks that make the drive up feel immediately worth it. If you're flying into Dharamshala with your dog or doing a road trip through Himachal, this is a solid, no-nonsense base.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Little Mastiff has confirmed that pets are welcome and stay for free. Only dogs and cats are accepted — no other animals. Pets must be kept on a leash on the property at all times. Pet food is not available here, so carry your dog's regular food from home. There are no resident animals on the property.
What the Stay Is Like
The hotel is part of the Orange Tiger / Mastiff Hotels group, and the property is built for comfort rather than luxury — clean rooms with views that punch well above the price point. Guests consistently highlight the food quality and the warmth of the staff, which matters when you're travelling with a dog and need a little extra flexibility. The property has a speciality restaurant, a lounge, complimentary Wi-Fi, and free parking — useful if you've driven up from Delhi or Chandigarh with your pet in tow.
Travelling Here With a Dog
The leash rule is a hard requirement — the property explicitly states pets must not roam freely. Given the proximity to the airport road and an open hillside setting, this is a sensible rule rather than a restrictive one. Pack all your pet's food, bowls, and any medication since the property does not stock pet food or supplies. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM — factor this in if you're on a tight flight schedule out of Gaggal. The airport proximity means early departures are genuinely stress-free with a dog in the car.
