Dalhousie.. the gift of Lord to Himachal Pradesh Thick forests, wildlife tranquil ambience and refreshing views of the far mountains draped in snow. Dalhousie is an enchanting little town with a colonial hangover. Its lush forests of pine, cedar and deodar attract nature-lovers, along with the usual throng of tourists seeking shelter from the sweltering heat of the plains. Set on five hills and facing the Pir Panjal range, one can view the Ravi, Beas and Chenab rivers from certain vantage points. Fold after fold of mountains, snow-capped and pristine, can be viewed from the jagged Pangi Valley, which is a trekker’s paradise. Whether claims that Rabindranath Tagore penned his first poem here or Subhash Chandra Bose visited it secretly, hold good or not, Dalhousie’s spectacular landscape sure warrants a visit!
