About Dalhousie for road travellers
Dalhousie spreads across several pine- and deodar-covered hills at about 1,970 m in Chamba district, built as a colonial hill station and still quieter than Shimla or Manali. Most visitors arrive from Pathankot, about 80 km below, or from Dharamshala, and combine Dalhousie with Khajjiar's meadow 17 km away and, for a longer day, the old temple town of Chamba on the Ravi river. Winters bring around 20–30 snowy days a year, beautiful but enough to close the Khajjiar road for a day.
