Mandal Woods
Doggies come first at this very special getaway. Owning a dog (you are welcome to bring a horse or a cow or any other animal) is almost a prerequisite to your visit to Mandal Woods, which is perched high up in the Western Ghats and covers over 1,000 acres. Here, your dog has access to every nook and cranny, can roam around freely without a leash, and even spring up on couches. The staff too, many of whom have worked at the property for a couple of decades or so, shower your pooch and fill them up with food (all dog-related expenses come free of cost here). Mandal Woods can only house three groups of guests at a time and if any guest has a problem with the dogs, they will have to deal with it and not your dog.
