Having a pet is a wonderful and rewarding experience and for some owners the perfect holiday is one where their pets can join them. Mahindra Homestays have over 60 homes where guests are welcomed with their well behaved pets allowing you to enjoy some of India’s amazing destinations together.

To celebrate this we recently ran a pet photography competition and we are now pleased to announce the winners!

Our Indian winner was Pooja Sakpal with her pet Power from Mumbai.

We also had a separate prize for overseas entrants. The winner was Phil Darling and his dog Wally from Suffolk in the United Kingdom.

Phil wins The India Essential Encounters book from Lonely Planet. He was delighted to win this prize and said, “Wow – thats absolutely fantastic – both Wally and myself are over the moon at winning the Me and my Darling Pet Contest.  ‘The India Essential Encounters book looks amazing, and I can’t wait to read it, with Wally by my side.” Thanks Phil, your prize will be on it’s way soon!
