McLeodganj
Dharamshala, HP
PACK McLeodganj is a social hostel sitting in the middle of McLeodganj's main drag - Jogiwara Road - with views of the Dhauladhar range and easy walking access to monasteries, cafes, and forest trailheads. It accepts dogs and cats (one per booking), which makes it a genuinely rare find in a hill town where most hostels turn pets away at the door. The ₹800 per day pet charge is listed upfront, so there are no surprises at checkout.
✓ Confirmed by the property
PACK McLeodganj has confirmed via MakeMyTrip that pets are welcome. One pet (dog or cat) is allowed per booking at an additional charge of ₹800 per day. Pets must be kept on a leash in common areas and are not permitted in the kitchen. Pet food is not available on the property, so bring your own supplies.
What to expect when you arrive with your dog
PACK operates as a hostel with a community-first vibe - vibrant lounges, shared spaces, and an in-house cafe that guests frequently praise. With your dog in tow, the leash rule applies throughout the property, which is a reasonable ask in a shared space. The kitchen is off-limits for pets, but the rest of the common areas appear accessible. Staff are noted across guest reviews for being helpful and friendly, which usually translates to a warmer reception for pet-travelling guests than you'd get at a front-desk-heavy hotel. Budget for your own dog food, water bowl, and snacks - none of this is provided on-site.
McLeodganj on foot with a dog
The location on Jogiwara Road puts you within easy reach of forest trails leading toward Triund - one of the most popular dog-friendly day hikes from McLeodganj. Bhagsu Nag and Dal Lake are also walkable. Mornings on the mountain paths are quieter and cooler, which is better for dogs than midday when the lanes fill up with tourists. Keep your dog leashed on the main market streets - it gets crowded, and the traffic is unpredictable on the narrow roads.
Practical notes for pet parents
Maximum one pet per booking is firm - if you're travelling with two dogs, this isn't the right property. Rooms have no AC (a common feature in this altitude range and flagged in guest reviews), which is actually a plus in the cooler months but worth noting if you're visiting in peak summer with a dog who struggles with heat. The hostel's central location means you're surrounded by shops and restaurants, but stock up on your dog's food before you arrive since the property doesn't supply it and speciality pet supplies in McLeodganj are limited.
