Dalhousie rose in the second string of hill stations that the British built in the region. Its location, at the western edge of the Dhauladhar mountains - which are a sub-system of the Himalaya - gave it a commanding position overlooking the plains of the Punjab. As the town grew, expectedly, it became a popular summer retreat for many families of the Punjab who preferred its easy lifestyle and relaxed ambience to the snooty social divides of Shimla. With its ' old world charm ' and lingering echoes of the Raj, the town covers an area of about seventeen square kilometres.
Its picture perfect setting allures tourists from different nooks and crannies of the globe. Our Dalhousie tour packages allow you to witness the splendor concealed in every corner of this hill station. Right from the gushing Satdhara Falls to the firmly standing Dainkund Peak (the highest mountain of Dalhousie), we take you to all those destinations that define the Dalhousie tour at its best.
