Setting
NestOnature Glamping sits on Ghera Road in Gharoh, Tehsil Dharamsala, Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh — a riverfront glamping property tucked away from the noise of McLeod Ganj and the main Dharamsala town. The setting is the draw: luxury domes and teepees placed against a backdrop of mountains, with the river running close enough that guests report eating on a deck overlooking the water. Pets are explicitly welcome here, dogs are allowed inside the domes, and there is no extra pet fee.
✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
We confirmed directly with NestOnature that dogs are welcome inside the accommodation units with no additional pet charges. All breeds are permitted, though the property requests that aggressive breeds not be brought. Pets must be kept on a leash when moving around the common areas and property grounds. The policy applies to their full range of stays — Luxury Domes, Standard Domes, and Teepees.
The Setting: Riverfront Domes in the Dharamsala Valley
NestOnature describes itself as an outdoor hospitality company — and the property layout reflects that. Accommodation options include Luxury Domes with stargazing windows, Standard Domes, and Teepees, all with private bathrooms and plush canopy beds. Select units have loft or mezzanine floors, which gives larger dogs a bit of a scramble — worth keeping in mind if your dog struggles with steep internal stairs. The grounds include a private deck and garden area, hammocks, a bonfire setup, a kids' play area, and complimentary car parking — so you can drive up directly from Dharamsala or from further afield without worrying about where to leave the car.
Reviewers specifically mention eating on a deck with the river right below — a detail that matters when you're travelling with a dog who needs space and stimulation. The river is close, which is a genuine plus for a dog walk first thing in the morning, but also worth factoring into your safety thinking (see note below). The property is located in a naturally beautiful area, away from the commercialised stretch of Dharamsala, which makes it a good fit for a quiet weekend away from city noise.
Pet Policy in Detail
This is one of the more straightforward pet-friendly policies we've seen at a glamping property in Himachal Pradesh. Dogs are allowed inside the rooms — meaning inside your dome or teepee — at no extra charge. There is no per-night pet fee and no weight limit mentioned in the confirmed policy. All breeds are welcome, with one caveat: the property does not permit aggressive breeds. If your dog has a history of aggression or is a breed commonly flagged at properties (Rottweilers, Pitbulls, etc.), it's worth a quick WhatsApp to the team before booking. Leashes are required when moving through the property — sensible given the bonfire area, kids' play zone, and the proximity to the river.
For pet parents travelling from Delhi, Chandigarh, or Amritsar, this property sits within a realistic driving distance and offers complimentary parking, making it a practical choice for a dog-friendly road trip to Himachal Pradesh. The Dharamsala–Kangra region has multiple vets in town, though we haven't confirmed a specific clinic tied to the property.
Activities and What to Do With Your Dog Here
NestOnature lists hiking and trekking among their offered activities — both immediately relevant if you're travelling with an active dog. The Gharoh area has forest trails and ridge walks accessible from the valley, and the riverbank itself provides a natural morning walk route. The property also offers birdwatching and stargazing, and watching the sky open up from a dome with stargazing windows with your dog curled up next to you is the kind of thing this place is built for. Bonfire evenings and barbecue sessions round out the after-dark options — the kind of setting where a dog is very much part of the experience rather than a logistical problem to manage.
Swimming is listed as an activity on site, though it is not confirmed whether this refers to the river or a dedicated pool. Pet parents should clarify this directly with the property before assuming water access for dogs is available and safe.
⚠️ River Proximity — Safety Note
NestOnature is a riverfront property. Reviewers describe the river as immediately adjacent to the dining deck. If you're travelling with a dog who has a strong chase or water instinct, keep them leashed near the riverbank — particularly during or after monsoon when river levels and currents can be unpredictable. The property's leash rule on grounds is relevant here beyond just social etiquette.
