In western Himachal
Pradesh, the hill station of Dalhousie is full of old world charm and
holds lingering echos of the Raj era. It covers an area of 14 sq. km.
and is built on five hills - Kathlog, Patreyn, Tehra, Bakrota and Balun.
It is named after the British governor General of the 19th century, Lord
Dalhousie. The town's heights varies between 525 m and 2,378 m, and is
surrounded by varied vegetation - pines, deodars, oaks and flowering
rhododendron. Dalhousie has charming colonial architecture, including
some beautiful churches. Its location presents panoramic views of the
plains and like a long silver line, the river Ravi twists and turns
below Dalhousie. The spectacular snow-covered Dhauladhar mountains are
also visible form this enchanting town.
Named after the adobe of Lord
Shiva, Mount Kailash-Manimahesh (5656m) visible from Dalhouise, is a
modern hotel with all amenities. This deluxe hotel offers commanding
view of snow-clad ranges and plains.
