… Because they deserve downtime and a vacation as much as us. Here are some tips, ideas and places to go to, when travelling with your furry babies
Travelling with pets is exciting—my pet has helped me step out of my comfort zone, made me chase after him up a high hill, agitated an elephant enough to pursue us through a forest, and given me some truly memorable dinnertime stories. Travelling with your furry babies is also important for pet parents like myself who don’t like leaving kids behind when they go vagabonding.
However, to be honest, planning travel with animals in tow can be a long-winded affair. You have to scout for pet friendly places. Then you have to consider the modes of transport. If it’s your first time travelling with your pet, do a trial run at a local hotel or resort before you head out to see how your furry baby feels about being away from home in a strange, new place. Also, flying or taking the train with your pet can be tricky. You’ll emerge frazzled from complicated processes, too much paperwork and wary authorities, not least from the lack of pet-friendly accommodation choices.
Which is exactly why we’ve done some groundwork and dug up some really cool pet-friendly hotels and resorts from across the country—be it a farm in the hills of Tamil Nadu or a beachside resort in sunny Goa.
