The western region of Himachal Pradesh houses Dalhousie, one of its most well-known hill towns. Founded in 1854 during the British era as a summer retreat, the town was named after the British Governor-General of India, Lord Dalhousie. Still carrying its old-world charm and echoing the feel of the British Raj, this place is visited by many tourists, making it a prime contributor to the state’s tourism industry.
Located at an above sea level of 2036 m, Dalhousie is erected on five hills- Bhangoram Potreyn, Bakrota, Kathalagh, and Terah- a part of the Dhauladhar ranges. Nestled in a lush growth of oak, pine, deodar, and rhododendron vegetation is this enchanting hill town with buildings and monuments that have a colonial feel. It is visited by both family vacationers as well as honeymooners all around the year.
