Dalhousie is a quiet hill station with a sense of enchantment that spreads over five low-level hills at the western edge of the Dhauladhar range, just east of the River Ravi. Named after a former British governor-general, Dalhousie retains a whiff of colonial air and some charming architecture. The pine-covered slopes are intersected with paths and treks that are ideal for short walks.
Places to visit:
Jandhri Ghat: Around half a kilometer away from the Subhash Baoli, Jandhri Ghat enfolds an elegant palace n the midst of tall pine trees. Chamba's erstwhile rulers governed from here till the advent of Lord Dalhousie.
Bakrota Hills: Less than 5 km from the twon center, the Bakrota Hills frame a breathtaking view of the snow-clad peaks.
Satdhara: On the way to Panjpulla, at an altitude of 2036 meters, these seven springs are reputed to have great therapeutic value as they contain mica with medicinal properties.
The Catholic Church of St. Francis: Dalhousie is another hill station with a number of old churches. This Church near the GPO looks untouched by time.
