Given above is a link to my Himachal Vlog. We went there during October and went to most blissful spots. Stayed in camps, completed a 12kms trek up and down, beautiful sights and unforgettable memories.
As you're going with your family, booking a cab for transportation would be a good option. And you can find good pet-friendly stays on AirBNB. Good rooms and also reasonable than other hotels.
You will find it best to stay at home stays that are dog friendly and trust us you will have no problem finding loving homes in Himachal. if you are visiting Tirthan Valley you can stay at The Blue Sheep or Gone Fishing. Dharamshala has a beautiful luxurious property called Blossoms Village Resort which is pet friendly. There are multiple properties in Bir that are pet friendly. and Of course The Chalets Naldehra near Shimla also welcomes pets.
