It is a beautiful, serene and a green hill station. There is natural beauty in abundance. But the best part of this place that it has the old world charm completely retained, probabaly the way britishers left it.

Overview of the destination
Don?t be surprised if you see more of locals around you than tourists in Dalhousie! A small hill station tucked amid the Pir Panjal range in Himachal Pradesh, Dalhousie is a bliss for people who love walking. It offers numerous walkways and authentic feeling of you being a local yourself!Quiet, peaceful and lazy are probably the best descriptions of Dalhousie.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
The walkways from Hotel Mount View to Subhash Chowk and further to Gandhi Chowk are the most popular. The walk from Subhash Chowk to Gandhi Chowk is littered with Tibetan graffiti on rock walls. There is a life size statue of Lord Buddha between the two chowks. Frankly, local sightseeing tours are quite a bore. An exception, Khajjiar is rightfully called the mini Switzerland of Himachal Pradesh. The tall Deodar trees around a saucer-shaped meadow make for quite a good view. For food, there is not better option than the restaurant at Hotel Grand View. Chamba is the district headquarters and quite a buzzing marketplace.

Activities & things to do
Finding new trails and paths is the adventure to live in Dalhousie.
