Yes, pets are generally allowed in public areas in Panchgani, India. However, it is important to keep your pet under control at all times, especially because of the large population of free-roaming cattle and wildlife in the city. Some parks, markets and other public places may have restrictive rules to ensure cleanliness and safety, and not all accommodations are suitable for pets. It is therefore advisable to check the rules in advance before taking your pet to a public place.
