About this package

Dalhousie Khajjiar Dharamshala Tour Package is a 4 nights 5 days plan covering Dalhousie and Dharamshala. Your stay includes hotel rooms on twin sharing with breakfast and dinner, a private car for transfers and sightseeing, and a day-wise itinerary that you can change to suit your dates, group and budget.

Dalhousie is an old hill station at about 2,000 metres, known for its colonial churches and quiet walks, and it is the base for Khajjiar, a deodar-ringed meadow roughly 25 km away. Dharamshala sits at roughly 1,450 metres in the Kangra valley below the Dhauladhar range, and McLeod Ganj, its upper town, is home to the Dalai Lama's temple complex, Tibetan cafes and the Bhagsu Nag waterfall.

Khajjiar and Kalatop: what to know

  • Khajjiar is a round meadow ringed by deodar forest, roughly 25 km from Dalhousie, and is often called mini Switzerland.
  • The Kalatop wildlife sanctuary has easy forest walks and is usually combined with Khajjiar in one day.
  • Activities such as paragliding, zorbing and horse rides are optional, weather-dependent and charged extra.
  • Go early in the day for quieter views, and carry a jacket because the meadow is cooler than the town.
  • In winter, snow can close the Khajjiar road for a day or two, and we then use the Dalhousie local sights instead.
