Dalhousie

360-degrees worth of scenic vistas welcomes you to Dainkund. Feast your eyes on nature’s careless beauty. Sitting nearly a kilometer above Dalhousie, Dainkund is a key attraction to faraway patrons! Dainkund’s wild forests, with the winds whistling through them feel like pages pulled out of an Oscar Wilde novel. You cannot afford to miss the wave of placidity at the Pholani Devi temple. The Air Force Base hidden behind canopies and the Dhauladhar Ranges in the distance are also some sites that you’ll cherish

The ‘Panch Pula’ translated into English as the ‘Five Bridges’ is a marvel of urban civil planning flourishing next to gushing, blue streams.  Crystal white waters piercing the sandy rock and green hues embracing the much famous ‘Satdhara’ waterfalls is certainly a sight to behold.  Panch Pula’s paddle boating centers give you a chance to converse with the icy, cold water of the streams.
Alternatively, the history buff in you will enjoy visiting the memorial honoring freedom-fighter Ajith Singh, close to the streams.

A mini safari festooned by the sight of snow-layered mountains on all sides sounds like a perfect outing. Enjoy the company of proliferating flora and fauna sounds will certainly please the nature lover in you. Don’t miss out to take a ride down through the hamlets that will take you closer to the Khajjiar Lake.

When you say indigenous crafts and artistry in Himachal, you somehow are referring to the newly added district Chamba. Chamba should be your go-to place for souvenirs because vivid variety and authenticity is the flavor that Chamba is blessed with.
The Chamba village is close to the point of intersection of the Sal and Ravi River, which makes for an ideal tourist spot to meditate by the icy, foaming waters. For a spiritual trip, after the Akhand Chandi Palace, there are plenty of Hindu temples around here to visit, such as the Champavati and Chamunda Devi Temples.
