Dalhousie is a quiet town, with a sense of
enchantment. This hill station spreads over five low-level hills at
the western edge of the Dhauladhar range, just east of the Ravi
River. The picturesque town is interspersed with the colonial-era
buildings, low roofed stalls and hotels. The pine-covered slopes
around it are intersected with paths and treks, which are ideal for
short undemanding walks.
The gateway to the Chamba Valley, this colonial town was
established in 1854 by the British governor-general Lord Dalhousie.
Covering an area of 14 sq.-km and surrounded by alpine vegetation,
Dalhousie has charming architecture and panoramic views of both
plains and the white capped views of the mountainous ranges. |
