AWARDS & RECOGNITIONS

Birds of dhole’s den

We are a homestay with dogs, but not a pet-friendly homestay.

• Our six Indian Hounds are not typically friendly with other dogs, so we kindly ask you to keep this in mind before booking with us.
• The hounds have designated times for their outings each morning and evening, and they have their own space. Some may roam freely, but they generally keep to themselves
unless approached. They can be curious and may come to sniff guests and visitors.
• We understand that the size of our dogs may be intimidating to some, and we respect any concerns our guests may have. We take extra care to ensure that interactions with the hounds are handled thoughtfully.
• We ask for your understanding of these unique aspects when considering a stay at Dhole’s Den.
