Lately, I was thinking of taking a break from Delhi’s pre-monsoon humid weather, and head up-north to beat the heat a bit. Also to serve a quick retreat from work. So finally, I went to Dalhousie along with my family. Dalhousie is a less popular hill station for Delhiites, as compared to Shimla, Kulu, Manali etc., mainly due to its distance from the plains.
However, Dalhousie was surprisingly placid and scenic. Dalhousie was established in 1854 by the British Governor Lord Dalhousie. At an altitude of roughly 2000 meters, and clothed in stately groves of deodar & oak, Dalhousie has a unique blend of its colonial era and a veneer of Tibetan culture, making it a truely exotic destination.
