Dalhousie

Dalhousie is one hill station which is increasingly becoming popular among home and foreign tourists. Nestled on the spur at the western end of Dhauladhar, Dalhousie was founded in 1854 by the British Viceroy Lord Dalhousie. It is an absolute delight for trekkers and nature lovers.

Beside its breath taking landscapes and lush green forests of pine, cedar and deodar the un-spoiled and raw natural beauty attracts the most. Set on five hills and facing the Pir Panjal range, one can view the earth and sky kissing on the horizon. Fold after fold of mountains, snow-capped and pristine, can be viewed from the jagged Pangi Valley. If your heart beats for Kashmir, head here, for this is the only part of Himachal Pradesh that juts into Kashmir. The place is remarkably crime free.
