About this package

Dharamshala Dalhousie Khajjiar Tour Package from Kolkata is a 5 nights 6 days plan covering Dharamshala and Dalhousie. 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. You travel to Pathankot, Chandigarh or Delhi and our driver takes it from there; the land package starts at your arrival point.

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. 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.
