Hi ,

You can go now to watch Snow . You can stay 3 Nights at Mcleodganj and 2 Nights at dalhousie . You can stay in the HPTDC's Lodges at both the places . Burgain on everything due to off season if you stay in other . Hotel Nataraj , Mcleodganj is also very good .

Hire a vehicle from Dalhousie and go to mcleodganj . All options of vehicle are available .

Have a great holidays

Hi ,

March is ideal for sight seeing and all other tourist activities.
December to February is snow bound and is perfect for all those who like snow fall.

Dalhousie.

Dalhousi blessed with some of the most spectacular and beautiful landscapes anywhere, it is a travellers paradise -lofty snow peaks, deep gorges, lush green valleys, fast flowing rivers, enchanting mountain lakes, flower bedecked meadows and golf.

Isolated by high mountain ranges, the valley of Chamba is noted for the magnificence of its scenery. The British Governor General, Lord Dalhousie, visiting this area around the middle of the 19th century for a quiet retreat, came upon a charming spot on a ridge overlooking the plains. This was to become the attractive little hill town that was named after him.

Set amidst thickly wooded hills, clothed in deodar and pine, Dalhousie has marvellous forest trails and picnic spots with splendid vistas over the Chamba Valley. A touch of the "Raj" still lingers in the little unspoilt town.

In & Around Dalhousie

Not far from the G.P.O. Square is the spring at Subhash Baoli with panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains. (1.6 km)

The Bakrota Mall, a popular walking circuit around these hills has a spectacular view of the mountains.

Kalatope (2,440 m)
An ideal weekend retreat with forest rest houses and beautiful spots for picnics, in a little wildlife sanctuary. (8.5 km)

Dhainkund (2,745 m)
