About Dalhousie Tourism

A picturesque and popular hill station, Dalhousie was set up in 1854, as a retreat for the British soldiers and bureaucrats. Located atop the five hills of Kathalagh, Potreyn, Terah, Bakrota and Bhangora, it was named after the British Viceroy Lord Dalhousie. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and situated on the western side of the mountainous ranges of Dhauladhar, it is known not only for its captivating beauty, but also for the ancient temples, the valleys of Chamba and Pangi which are great trekking grounds.

 

Sightseeing:  

 

Visit the beautiful churches of St. Andrew's and St. Patrick's at Balun, the St. Francis' Church at Subash Chowk, and St. John's Church at Gandhi Chowk. Barapathar (4 km away) is a small temple in the midst of dense forests. You could also visit the Chamba Ruler's summer palace of Jandrighat, which has some interesting period architecture. You could pay homage to freedom fighters, by visiting Panchpula, 3km ahead, to see the monument of Ajit Singh, and then head to Subhash Baoli, named after famous freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose, who was said to have frequented this place.

Excellent Long weekend getaway at Dalhousie

Overview of the destination
Dalhousie and Khajjiar can be an excellent option for a long weekend getaway. The two places are really nice and if you are a budgetedFood, sight-seeing and shopping
For hotels, if you want to book in advance, my recommendation is do not book the himachal tourism corporation hotel. It is in ruins there.Activities & things to do
There are various sightseeing places in Dalhousie itself. Visit the Himachal Tourism website for more details. All the places in Dalhousie are worth watching...the SaintTravel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
