Dalhousie

Dalhousie established in 1854 by the British Governor General Lord dalhousie, is today a little hill station that still retains much of it''s charm. It is easily accessible from the plains. Pathankot, the nearest railhead is 90 km away and luxury coaches, buses and taxis take visitors up to this unspoilt hill station. Built around five hills, Dalhousie is clothed in stately groves of deodhar and oak. It''s marvellous forest trails overlook vistas of wooded hills, water falls, spring & rivulets. There are also magnificent views of the Chamba Valley and the mighty Dhauladhar range with its awe-inspiring snow covered peaks filling the entire horizon.

Dalhousie still has a touch of the ''Raj'' about it and its colonial style buildings and houses bring back the flavour of an earlier era. A veneer of Tibetan culture has added a touch of the exotic to this serene resort and along road-sides are huge rocks carved in low relief and painted in the tibetan style.
