Located towards the west of Dhauladhar ranges, Dalhousie is a quiet holiday retreat in the Himalayas. Set at a height of 2000 meters above the sea level, Dalhousie sprawls on five hills on the spectacular Chamba Valley.
Cloaked in thick pine and deodar forests, Dalhousie boasts of undulating greens marked by brightly painted colonial bungalows and countless nature retreats with snow-capped peaks in the backdrop.
Dalhousie developed as a natural sanatorium and holiday resort after the British bought this land from the Raja of Chamba in the year 1853. The town gets its name from that of Lord Dalhousie who was instrumental in developing this Himalayan town into a hill station.
Newly weds find Dalhousie a great holiday destination where they spend sometime with nature at its pretty best. Walks around town which interest tourists are the rather piquantly named Thandi Sadak (Cool Street) and Garam Sadak (Warm Street). Both take you off the Mall and show you the quieter side to Dalhousie.
A cheaper alternative Shimla, Dalhousie has some old churches and temple shrines that definitely warrant a visit. Shop till you drop as you walk along the Gandhi Chowk and Subhash Chowk on a Dalhousie tour with Top Tourist Places.com.
