Dalhousie Tour & Travel Guide - Places to See in Dalhousie

Khajjiar

It derives its name from the ancient Khajinag temple. Known as the 'Switzerland of India', Khajjiar is a lush meadow, with fantastic Himalayan peaks in the backdrop. It almost feels as if the pines trees here as so tall that they can touch the skies.

Upper Bakrota

The highest point in Dalhousie, it offers a beautiful view of the mountains. It is one of the most popular picnic spots here. A rich variety of wild flowers, trees, shrubs and grasses make this a treat to walk through.

Kalatop Wildlife Reserve

Kalatop has been named so because the vegetation here is extremely dense (there are claims it is the densest in the country) so much that even sun rays cannot penetrate the trees. On a diversion from the road that leads to Khajjiar, this sanctuary is an ideal place for people who enjoy adventure walks. You may not get to see many wild animals but the experience is eerily enjoyable. Dainkund, which offers great view of the valleys of Chenab, Beas and the Ravi rivers, as well as Bara Pathar and Lakkarmandi lie within this reserve. There is a time limit of 2 hours for each group, to visit Kalatop.

Ganji Pahadi

It derives its name from the bald patch that this hill top sports. The walk upto this can be a little tedious but is totally worth all the effort.

Saatdhara

As the name suggests is the point where seven streams flow. These streams are rich in mica content and are hence considered therapeutic.
