What People are saying

Pet Vacation Goals met!

Best place for pets! We have 3 pooches and that is not an easy number to handle for most. Emerald Trail never says no. Gardens are fenced for freedom for pet residents of each cottage, food is great and there are no rules hanging over your head.
Since market/cafes/restaurants are all at least 15 kms away, dont expect anything. Just carry your book and lie in the sun.
Great food to boot along with warm and caring staff.
Would recommend an upgrade on linen and over all room decor.

Beautiful and scenic

We booked a single room cottage for 2 nights. Our cottage had a huge lush green garden which was fenced all around for dogs. My husband and I stayed their along with our dogs. Both my dogs enjoyed the garden more than us 😃 and it was difficult sometimes to get them inside the room. The views from the balcony were breathtaking , we spent most of our time sitting in the balcony/patio. The room and the toilet was very basic. However, with such great views who would want to spend time in the room.

The manager named Lalit was very informative and helpful. All their staff is very friendly and professional especially prakash who served us the whole time. I loved the food they served us; aloo poori for breakfast and mutton for dinner/lunch were my favorite. They have decent variety in their menu and food is super delicious. Our dogs were served their meals right on time. They look after cleanliness of the garden very well.

Pet lovers must travel to this place along with their fur babies .. everyone will definitely have a gala time just like 4 of us did ..

We plan to visit this place again soon !!

An amazing break with our dog

This was our first outstation vacation with our 4 month old golden retriever. We (my wife, son , Murphy and I ) had the best time of our life in Emerald Trail. The place is located in the hills of Jangaliya Gaon above bhim tal. The location is awesome . However , once inside the resort , for any requirement that is not met in-house , you may have to drive down the 10-12 kms to BhimTal. So , plan properly and reach ET. Good news is that once inside ET ..i wonder if you would ever like to go out for anything . The place and the cottages have been described enough in the reviews. I stayed in cottage no 5 and had complete access the the large ground adjacent.. No issues at all. Our Golden Retriever had a time of his life, running , playing doing what he wants in this completely gated property. ET almost makes you feel , that the place was meant for pets and U are welcome to come along. The food for the pets is catered for and free. Ask what u may (Other than fancy Royal Canine etc - that u must carry) and ET will provide for your pet. The place is being managed by Mr Lalit and his local staff very well and professionally. Mr Lalit is very friendly and typically exhibits the warmth of the hills. Don't expect the rooms to be fancy. They are not BUT they are very very comfortable.. The dog gets his own bed. While your dog is at play you can laze around the property, play some indoor/ outdoor/ games . Or quite simply just grab a hot cup of tea and read your favourite best seller in the gazebo. In the mornings we look our dog for long walks outside property and also manged to meet some very distinguished personalities who stay in the neighbourhood. On the whole, I would count this as the one of the best vacations I had. It was a brilliant first time trip with our puppy. We hated getting back to the .grind and heat of Delhi. The open lawns, lovely rooms , great hospitality makes us resolve to return back soon. Perfect place for family boding with Pets. Just a note..portable wifi is available on payment basis. Mobile signal may be an issue inside the cottages.. The food is normally set menu. Minor variations are possible provided the kitceh is not over loaded. The staff is more than willing to oblige any request of yours. If ordering snacks for the evening , order prior 6 PM to save the load on the kitchen staff. The food tastes like any home cooked food. Indian Menu, quite tasty. Must complement Mr Sumit Dutta for the concept and the way the property has been handled. Thank you all at ET ..:)

Trip to ET with family in May 207

It was a fantastic experience visiting and staying at Emerald Trail, Bhimtal. The property is pristinely located with great views of mountains and forests. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The food was top class. And above all, our pet dog was taken care of very well. He enjoyed his freedom in the resort and also got a chance to interact and play with other pets. We would highly recommend a visit to this place for all family with pets.

Two memorable days with our dog

HD_Shewade on 20/05/2017 19:11

We were at Emarald trail for two days-18 to 20 May 2017.
One thing that struck us was large fenced and gated space they was just for us and our dog. And yes it is for you only. Let me summarise the property:
There are are eight rooms.
Room 1,2,3,4 are in a single cottage. There is a large grass lawn all accessible to you if you are staying these rooms. The size of this lawn is almost half of a hockey ground. This is again gated and fenced. Here you also have the kids area {can be accessed by others as well}. If you are in a group of 8 or more, request for these rooms.
Room 5 is a single cottage with two double beds. However the gated and fenced space available to you is less here. It is equivalent to a kitchen garden. If you do not like dogs this is the best space for you.
Rooms 6 and 7 are in a single cottage. They oversee a huge lawn at two levels both accessible to you only. So the fenced and gated space for you and you dog is almost the size of a hockey ground. There is also a badminton court in this space {can be accessed by others}. This is the best space according to us for you and should suit you if you are 3-4 in number. We stayed in these rooms.
Room 8 has one double bed and and has again a gated and fenced lawn area equivalent to half a hockey ground.

You can also play chess, carrom, badminton, cricket, football, cards which is provided by the hotel. You can also carry your own board games. I suggest you carry a flying disk or any other fetch toy which your dog likes.

The food is awesome and can be customised to your liking. There is no option other than veg or non veg. But believe me it was very very tasty. Food, tea, juice etc gets served in your room and you can have it inside your room or outside in the balcony / front yard.

Please remember to keep your pets indoors after dark and when the four pet dogs of Emerald Trail are let free. This is a strict requirement. The rooms are simple, neat and clean with DTH. You get hot water 24* 7.
If you are planning to come here, I suggest you come in a group and book your rooms as per your requirements. Options of rooms have been provided above.

Consider few days off in Emerald trail, spending quality time with family and dog, enjoying good quality food/drinks along with some indoor and outdoor games. Do not use wifi {available on payment} or Internet or phone or laptop. Suggest you have a laptop and mobile free break.

Hope this helps.
