In 1850, the spot where Dalhousie stands was a lovely look at the foot of the Dhauladhar Range. Against the back drop of lofty snowcapped peaks, dense oak and pine grove veered the unbroken slopes of five hills. This place is named after Lord James Ramsay Marquis of Dalhousie and Governer General of India.
Dalhousie is a quiet town, with a sense of enchantment. It commands an imposing view, flanked by its mighty ranges to one side, and the gentle valley of Chamba on the other. the climate is salubrious, and the setting just right for walks or quiet getaway in these forests.
Dalhousie is surrounded by the beautiful scenery of snow-capped peaks. The Ravi river flows nearby and has a large 750 Mw. hydro-electric station and dam. Scottish and Victorian architecture is prevalent in the bungalows and churches in the town. Dalhousie is the gateway to the Chamba Valley.
