Not so popular destination is getting eyes of many travellers now-a-days. It's an offbeat and remote location which gives u vibe similar to that of Manali. Although Manali has become over crowded and hyped among tourists, here Dalhousie is saviour. To reach Dalhousie, grab a car or volvo or local bus from Pathankot, which is 90kms far. It takes around 3 to 5 hours depending on traffic and conveyance.

Brief itinerary to get utmost of your time and get an amazing experience at such place.

It is located at the altitude of 2755m above sea level, which gives the view of idyllic mountains and green forest.
