Introduction
Dalhousie is a stunning hill station located on the western border of Dhaula Dhar Range of the gigantic Himalayas. Founded in 1854, it was a great and delightful summer retreat for the British troops and bureaucrats. Compassed over five low-level hills, this eccentric town is interlarded with the colonial era buildings, low roofed stalls and hotels. The narrow paths and treks of this town interfuse with the pine-covered slopes and give a magnificent look. Surrounded by alpine vegetation, Dalhousie has a charming architecture and dynamic views of both plains and the ice-capped views of mountain ranges. The main highlights of Dalhousie include the lush green forests of pine and cedar, ancient temples, breathtaking landscapes and untouched beauty of Chamba and Pangi Valley.
