Amala is a six-bedroom premium villa set in the Kanatal hills of the Tehri range, sitting amidst the misty Himalayas with a large private lawn, a fireplace, and in-house meals on offer. It is a full private villa booking - you get the entire property - which makes it a genuinely comfortable option for families or groups travelling with dogs. The 11,600 sq ft lawn gives dogs real room to stretch, and the surrounding landscape is quiet and forested.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Amala welcomes up to 2 pets per booking at an additional charge of ₹5,000 plus taxes, with a pet cleaning charge of ₹1,000 plus taxes for the entire stay. The property confirmed this policy directly - pets are welcome inside the villa but restricted from the kitchen, poolside area, and from using villa bedding or furniture.
What the space looks like for a dog
The villa has six bedrooms across two floors, all with king-sized beds and attached bathrooms. The ground floor rooms are particularly practical if you have a large or older dog who struggles with stairs. Outside, the 11,600 sq ft lawn with seating for 25 is the real win for dog parents - it's large enough for a proper run and fenced enough that you're not constantly anxious. The caretaker is present on-site at all times, so there's always someone around if your dog needs attention or you need help with anything during the stay.
Pet rules to know before you go
The property has a clear and honest pet policy, which is actually reassuring. Pets are not allowed in the kitchen, around the pool, or on any furniture - beds, couches, futons, or blankets. The villa will not provide towels or blankets for your pet, so carry your dog's own blanket from home. If your dog is a heavy shedder, the property specifically requests that you groom them before arrival, as pet hair in the furnishings is difficult to manage. Poop pickup is expected in both the lawn and villa areas - standard courtesy, but worth noting. The pet fee covers up to 2 pets for the full stay, not per night.
ℹ️ What to pack for your dog
Villa towels and blankets are not accessible to pets - bring your dog's own bedding and sleeping mat. A leash is recommended for the initial walk around the property. If your dog is a shedder, a pre-trip grooming session will go a long way with the caretaker.
The overall stay experience
Amala is a solid full-villa option in Kanatal - a region that doesn't have many verified pet-friendly private stays. Breakfast is complimentary and all meals are available in-house on an à la carte basis, so you won't need to leave the property to sort food. The fireplace in the living room is a genuine plus on cold Himalayan evenings, and the bonfire spot in that vast lawn makes for a memorable night with your dog beside you. Jio mobile network works at the property, and Wi-Fi is complimentary though subject to availability. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM.
