Travelling to Munnar with a pet takes a little more planning than a normal hill-station holiday. Mountain roads, changing weather, steep terrain and property-specific rules all matter, so the best pet-friendly stay is not simply the one that says pets are allowed. It is the one where expectations are clear before you arrive.
This guide explains what to check when choosing a pet-friendly resort in Munnar and how Blackberry Hills currently handles pet stays.
Are there pet-friendly resorts in Munnar?
Yes, but policies vary considerably. Some properties accept pets only in selected rooms, some require prior approval, and others apply cleaning or accommodation charges. Rules can also change according to the size or number of pets, so it is important to contact the property directly rather than relying only on an old listing or third-party description.
What to check before booking a pet-friendly stay
- Prior approval: ask whether the property needs advance notice before confirming the reservation.
- Applicable charges: confirm whether any pet or cleaning charge applies to your stay.
- Room allocation: check whether all room categories accept pets or whether allocation is subject to availability.
- Public areas: ask where pets may accompany you and where they should not enter.
- Leash and supervision rules: hill properties often share space with wildlife, other guests and staff movement.
- Food and medication: carry your pet’s normal food, medicines and essentials rather than assuming specialist supplies will be available locally.
Pet stays at Blackberry Hills Munnar
Blackberry Hills accepts guests travelling with pets, but prior intimation is mandatory. Pet stays should be discussed with the reservations team before arrival so that the resort can confirm the arrangements for the specific booking. Additional charges may apply.
We deliberately keep this policy simple rather than promising amenities that may not be relevant to every animal. If you are travelling with a pet, contact the reservations team with the type of pet, number of pets and your travel dates before completing the stay.
Why the setting matters when travelling with a pet
Blackberry Hills is spread across a 10-acre mountainside estate rather than a flat hotel campus. Cottages are positioned across natural slopes connected by pathways and steps. For some pets this can be an enjoyable environment, while older animals or pets with mobility issues may need more consideration.
The estate is also home to birds, squirrels, frogs, insects and other wildlife. Responsible supervision is therefore important. A pet-friendly nature stay should work for the guest and the animal without disturbing the wider environment.
What to bring for your pet
- regular food and feeding bowls
- lead, harness or carrier
- medications and basic first-aid supplies
- vaccination and identification details
- towels or bedding familiar to your pet
- waste bags and cleaning essentials
- rain protection if travelling during the monsoon
Driving to Munnar with a pet
The hill section into Munnar contains numerous bends, so plan regular breaks on longer drives. Keep water accessible and avoid feeding a heavy meal immediately before the climb if your pet is prone to motion sickness.

Travelling with a pet during the monsoon
Munnar can be particularly beautiful in the rainy season, but wet pathways, lower temperatures and sudden showers require preparation. Dry your pet properly after outdoor time, carry a towel and avoid allowing animals to wander unsupervised in unfamiliar terrain.

A quieter nature stay can suit pets too
Blackberry Hills deliberately avoids loud parties, fireworks and unnecessary noise. That calm environment can be particularly welcome for pets that are sensitive to loud sounds. It also reflects the resort’s wider approach of coexisting with the wildlife that already calls the estate home.

Final thought
A successful pet-friendly holiday is mostly about clear expectations. Confirm the policy in advance, bring the essentials your pet already knows, and choose a stay where the surroundings fit both your travel style and your animal’s comfort.
