8 Breathtaking Places To Visit In Dalhousie

A summer retreat and sanatorium during the British era, Dalhousie is still the place where the clean forest air and unpeopled woods can help you recharge. Warm sunlight, clear skies, birdsong and views of the Himalayas – you’ll be spoiled . There’s no doubt that Dalhousie is a mystical landscape. When you treat yourself to a trip here, make sure you visit the top 8 breathtaking places to visit in Dalhousie.

Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary

Finding an entirely green pocket in a city can be difficult but that’s not the case in Dalhousie. You look to your right? Trees. Left? Yep, more greenery. Anywhere you look, nothing but greenery, and at no point do you get tired of it! One such place that’s the epitome of this exact quality of Dalhousie is the Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary.

The sanctuary is the ideal spot to take a hike under the shelter of towering deodar and fir trees that selectively let sunlight filter through. For company, you’ll have deer prancing around and the sound of birds chirping to themselves or possibly babbling about you.

The entire sanctuary covers a space of 30.69 km and there are specific marked trails that are safe to go on during the day . December to February is also a great time to visit Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary to feel like you’re actually part of a winter wonderland only seen in snowglobes. Make snow angels, post a billion stories, Kalatop is the perfect little place for it all.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 10.8 km (approximately 45 mins away)

Dainkund Peak

Dainkund Peak is the highest point in Dalhousie, giving visitors an unobstructed 360° view of the entire place. The trek to the peak falls in the beginner level category so even if you’ve not exercised in forever, you’d still be able to make it to the top without struggling. It’s one of those places to visit in Dalhousie that make you truly appreciate nature.

‘Life is about the journey not the destination’ – that old saying certainly applies here. Hiking to Dainkund Peak is like the ‘don’t rush’ challenge for real , since the trail is too scenic to ignore. Also, keep in mind that if you visit anytime from December to February this place would be covered entirely in snow and bears a complete change of scenery.

Did you know? – The hills are alive with the sound of music in Dainkund, literally! Dainkund Hills are referred to as the ‘singing hills’ of India . When the wind passes through the serene hills and valleys, it creates a sound that makes it seem like it sings. It’s not like actual musical, but more like the wind here is being super talkative.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 12.1 km (approximately 30 mins away)

Chamera Lake

The view of this picturesque lake would easily remind you of a picture from a desk calendar at a tourist office. What’s the view? A pristine snake-shaped lake cutting through a mountain belt, pretty much a visual treat.

Chamera lake is a famous tourist spot and when there, indulge in activities like trying some snacks from the food stalls around or taking a boat ride . There are powerboats and speed boats available, so pick the ride that is suitable to you. We’d say Chamera is that perfect picnic spot where you can chill with a book, stroll around and take in that relaxing lake view.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 52.6 km (approximately 2 hours away)

Jot Pass is a spot where tourists take a break from the road to digest the view of the scenic Dhauladhar chain of mountains . But we must warn you – it can get so scenic that it tempts you to take your eyes off the road. Do that for too long and you’ll find yourself plunging over a cliff edge. You need to be careful just like you would be extra careful while maneuvering through any other mountain pass. Do your best to avoid getting distracted with the scenery. Always stop your vehicle at the side of the road at a tourist junction where you see benches with sheds to sit and capture the view.

Jot also gets less attention from the usual places to visit in Dalhousie so it won’t be as crowded. There is an ‘I Love Jot’ sign that you can pose with for that classic touristy pic. If you want to just stretch your legs and relax, you can consider dropping by the Jot Nature Park too.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 37.7 km (approximately 1.5 hours away)

Bakrota Hills View Point 

This is the point in Dalhousie where you’ll probably want to bottle up the fresh air and take it back home with you. Bakrota Hills is a refreshing place to see for stunning views of the majestic Himalayan mountain range. It’s definitely a luxury to stroll here aimlessly, giving your legs the freedom to wander without a plan.

You can easily walk to these hills and don’t need to plan much for the hike. It’s a fairly easy one that even the not-so-young can attempt. That’s one of the beauties of Dalhousie, none of the day excursions are stressful, but have just the right amount of relaxation for your mind and body.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 5.3 km (approximately 20 minutes away)

St. John’s Church

Built in 1863 during the British regime, St. John’s Church is the oldest church in Dalhousie. The structure resembles churches found in England and bears Victorian-era architecture. This is a wonderful site to visit if you generally like visiting old churches . You can also consider seeing a few more churches namely – St. Francis (built in 1894), St. Andrew (1903) and St. Patrick (1909).

For those history buffs at heart, we even highly recommend that you can drop by the Raizada Hans Raj Memorial Trust Library after you see the church. This library is where you’ll find snippets of what Dalhousie looked like back in the day when the British came here to rejuvenate.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – Minutes away extremely close to the town center.

Ganji Pahari

Want a hill all to yourself with very few people in sight? Then head to Ganji Pahari, and yes, it literally translates to ‘Bald Hill’. The story behind this odd name is that the top patch of the hill barely has any trees covering it while the rest does, meaning that it’s bald. To an extent it does look like it went bald, but to each their own imagination!

The hike to Ganji Pahari is easy, and once you reach the top you’d be happy that you’re not wrestling with passing people or anything else to block your view. For the trek to this bald hill, we suggest beginning at Panchpula (a popular tourist halt in Dalhousie). Most of the treks begin from Panchpula itself so it would be a good point to keep as the base.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 5 km away from the town center, extremely close to Bakrota Hills.

A hill station that sits at an elevation of 6,500 feet above sea level, Khajjjiar is covered by a dense cover of pine trees. You can also see the peaks of Dhauladhar mountain ranges in the distance from here. And sure, this may not be one of the places to visit in Dalhousie per se, but a trip to Dalhousie is incomplete without hopping into Khajjiar.

The best thing to do here after you consume the beauty of the place is to walk barefoot. There’s miles of green grass to walk on, just like on a golf course, but you’d even have the company of lush cedar and pine trees. Fresh mountain air, the clear blue sky and flat land makes Khajjiar a comfy little spot to have a picnic.

Did you know? – Envoy Willy P. Blazer, who was the Head of Chancery of Switzerland, was taken aback with the stunning beauty around him when he visited Khajjiar. So much so, that he placed a yellow sign indicating the hill station’s distance from the capital of Switzerland (Bern). The resemblance with Switzerland is believed to be uncanny so if you can’t make it there, you can still have a piece of its beauty in India.

Distance from Gandhi Chowk, the central hub of Dalhousie – 19.3 km (approximately an hour away)

Dalhousie is a refreshing hill station which is blessed with views of the Himalayas. It’s the destination that calls you to unwind, wander and plonk yourself down to bask in the midst of nature . These breathtaking places to visit in Dalhousie only make your experience that much richer.

Like any hilly destination, the hills can get eerily quiet. This may seem great at first but for many, it can also be a big downer. Occasionally staying engaged with fellow travelers can keep you in high spirits when the beauty of the place goes silently numb. But you have none of that to worry about when you stay at a goSTOPS Dalhousie . Here you’ll always have fellow travelers to start a snow fight with, or go on a short hike with, or just chit chat!

Is There Snowfall In Dalhousie?

One of the main reasons people choose to travel to Dalhousie is to experience a winter wonderland. You can see snow in Dalhousie if you plan to visit during the winters from December to February. Temperatures hover around 11°C in the daytime and drop to sub-zero levels at night. 

How Many Days Is Enough For Dalhousie?

Dalhousie is an ideal destination to relax and recharge your batteries. 3 nights is sufficient time for sightseeing but you can always extend your stay if you wish to rest for longer. 

What Is Famous In Dalhousie?

Dalhousie is referred to as the ‘Switzerland of India’ and rightly so because the quaint and tranquil surroundings strongly resemble the beauty of Switzerland. It’s famous for its picturesque views of the snow-clad mountains. Bakrota Hills, Dainkund Peak, Kalatop and Khajjiar are the top spots to capture the essence of Dalhousie.

How many places are there in Dalhousie?

There are several places to visit in Dalhousie, most of them rich with the bounties of nature. Head to Chamera lake if you want something exciting like a speedboat ride, or hike up to Dainkund peak if hikes are more your speed. The many churches are perfect for the history and architecture buffs, while the ones who love scenic drives should head to Jot pass.

Dalhousie- a town sleeping in the lap of mountains

There are places one can visit any time of the year, and enjoy a different flavour each time. Dalhousie is one such place.  The town is simply lovable in all seasons.   Its location in the foothills of mighty Himalayan mountain peaks and laidback life makes Dalhousie appear like a town sleeping in the lap of the mountains.

Till now, I have visited Dalhousie twice- first as part of an official retreat in winter and second time with family in autumn. I vividly remember experiencing my first live snow-fall in Dalhousie during winter. It was such a lovely feeling to have the flying snow-flakes touch my skin for the first time! And in autumn, the atmosphere was so pleasant, and sky so clear that we could do whatever we wished to. I will go back to Dalhousie one day during the monsoon to walk in the clouds. 

Dalhousie- the name itself oozes a colonial legacy. Hill stations are among the few colonial legacies that one would thank the British for. Like the other hill-stations, the main purpose of establishing Dalhousie was seeking refuge from the heat of the plains in summer. 

Today, counted among the top hill stations of India, Dalhousie boasts of beautiful British era buildings and churches, and some heritage symbols of the freedom struggle of India. However, it is the views of mighty Himalayan mountain peaks, beautiful pine forests and meadows that attract the travel-souls the most.  

To refer to more posts on Himalayan hill-stations in this site, or please check out: Darjeeling   ||  Nainital .

Interesting history of Dalhousie

Lord Dalhousie, the then Governor General of India while looking for a new summer retreat, came across this region with lovely meadows among green mountains. Hailing from Scotland, perhaps he saw resemblance of the hills with his native place. Enticed by its natural beauty and cool environment in the summers, he bought five hills (Kathalagh, Potreyn, Terah, Bakrota and Bhangora) from the rulers of Chamba in exchange for relaxation in taxes. It was a fabulous deal for that time, and for the posterity alike. 

In course of time, the town developed into a beautiful summer retreat with administrative buildings, shopping centers (Mall Road) and catholic churches. Besides, n earby places like Khajjiar also came into prominence with tourists thronging throughout the year. 

Dalhousie, a sleepy town in the mountains

Unlike other hill stations in the Himalayas, it’s a relatively sleepy town in the mountains. At 1970 mt (~6460ft), it’s neither too high in the mountains like  Ladakh  nor that low like  Rishikesh . It’s just about perfect elevation for a rejuvenating hill station.

Moreover, I enjoyed the slow pace of life here. Except for the main market near Gandhi chowk, the town is not too crowded. Or, maybe its design is such that crowd is always spread out, and secluded.  We loved walking along the deserted road from Gandhi chowk to Subhas chowk, the two main crowd-centers in the town. 

To be honest, the Mall Road is rather subdued in comparison to other expansive Mall Roads in Himalayan hill stations like   Mussoorie   and Shimla.  It’s not long, and doesn’t have too many shops. If you are a big shopper, or a big foodie, it may actually disappoint you.

But if you are seeking peace and tranquility, Dalhousie will make you feel content. The many gulab-jamun vendors and the tandoor chaiwalas are the special attractions at the Mall Road.

For the shoppers, there is a Tibetan market just near the Gandhi Chowk. It’s an interesting, happening but small market place. Like all Tibetan markets across the Himalayas, their main offerings are the woolen wears and momos (dumplings). 

Memorable experiences of Dalhousie in the mountains

1. dalhousie's old world charm.

The whole town looks old; roads that have been there since ages, rusty dilapidated buildings, old churches, and the old trees all around. I felt like nothing is changing over time! 

Old things have a poetry about themselves. They invite you to tell their stories; you need an ear to listen. My two visits were 6 years apart; but I found nothing had changed. It’s this feeling of vintage and heritage that is so beautiful! Dalhousie can really make you fall in love with its old world charm and laidback life. 

Do visit the St Andrew’s church and St Patrick’s at Balun, the St Francis’ Church at Subash Chowk, and St John’s Church at Gandhi Chowk.

Built in 1863, St. John’s Church near Gandhi Chowk is the oldest church in Dalhousie. Though it’s a protestant church, its architecture resembles the Victorian era Roman catholic churches of England. Not that big, but very cute looking and photogenic church it is. 

2. Nature therapy in the mountains

Why does one visit a hill station? Of course, the majority would say that it’s the natural beauty of the place that attracts them the most. As I said above, Dalhousie presents itself in a different form in different seasons. From lush green in the summer-monsoon season, it changes into a white blanket in the winters. 

I still remember the first morning view of the snow-capped  Himalayas  from the windows of my room. When the first day-light broke my sleep, eyes half closed, I got irritated at myself for not closing the curtains before sleeping! But then, buoy! The view of the white mountains opened my eyes instantly. It was a dreamy morning! Hardly did I feel like moving; felt like just sitting there looking at the snow-clad mountains in the horizon. But alas! There was an official engagement scheduled!  

For enjoying snow-capped landscape, especially in the winters, it’s good to get outside of Dalhousie town and venture towards Kala top wildlife sanctuary.

Second time around in October, I loved the sun on my skin. Pleasant weather, lovely sunshine and clear skies presented abundant opportunities for photography. Pine covered beautiful mountains and green rolling meadows invite you to have an outdoor party throughout the day. 

Dalhousie lies in the mountains at the western end of the Dhauladhar range. And the Pir Panjal range is not far from the sight either. Both ranges have snow-capped mountains, and are clearly visible from Dalhousie. To add to the beauty of Dalhousie’s landscape, the nearby mountains are green and wavy, perfect for hiking and jungle walking.

Other nature hotspots near Dalhousie:

There are a number of other interesting spots near Dalhousie for spending time with the mountains and nature. 

• Kalatop, on the way to Khajjiar, is a lovely forest trail, especially good for enjoying snow-covered landscape in winter. Besides, there’s a small wildlife sanctuary to explore. 
• Bakrota hill is another lovely spot to view the snow-capped mountains. The sight of pretty villages nestled in the mountains is special from up there.
• A small waterfall called Satdhara is just outside of Dalhousie precincts. From the drop-off point, it’s just a 20-minute hike to reach the base of the waterfall. We noticed large number of young crowd hanging out here in the evening. A small market place with painters and eateries add great charm to the landscape.
• Near Satdhara waterfalls, Panchpula is a popular picnic spot in lush green forest setting.

3. Khajjiar, the "mini-Switzerland"

My second favorite places in mountain valleys are the meadows, only next to the cascading rivers over rock-beds. Like Shangarh in the  Great Himalayan National Park ,  Khajjiar (24 kms from Dalhousie) is a sleeping beauty.  It feels blissful to lay down in the open grasslands gazing the vast sky, and doing nothing for hours. We actually did that. After a sumptuous meal at a nearby restaurant, we walked to the other side, and slept for more than an hour under the open sky.

A stroll across the meadows can recharge my batteries for weeks. With Dhauladhar mountains surrounding the meadow, a small lake in the middle, and strategically placed shops at one end of the meadow (near the 12th century Khajji Nag temple), Khajjiar looks gorgeous. It’s a photographer’s delight. We took tens of amazing photographs from different angles, and all around the meadow.

When The Swiss envoy to India, Mr. Willy P. Blazer visited Khajjiar in 1992, he was so enamored by the place that he termed it as “Mini Switzerland”. He also carried a stone from here with him to place it as a collage alongside stones from 160 other locations across the globe that resemble the Swiss beauty.  

In the middle of the enchanting meadows, lies a lovely little circular lake. We were there just at the end of the monsoon season. So, the lake looked muddy. But in a few months time, it would become a gorgeous blue circle with lush green grassland and forests around it. 

4. Boating in Chamera lake

One day, we planned a day-trip to  Chamba . On the way, just 25 kms away from Dalhousie is the beautiful lake Chamera. It’s actually a man-made lake that is formed by the backwaters of a dam project over the river Ravi. 

The first look of the Chamera lake while driving down to the lake-entry point was mesmerizing. A curvaceous blue beauty across mountains spread over 295 meters. As we slowly drove down the road, it kept running at one side of us till we reached the entry-point. 

The lake offers some water sports options like boating, kayaking, fishing etc. The big boats carry groups of tourists around the lake explaining the topography and interesting facts about the area, overall, an interesting ride. Not far from the lake is a temple- Bhalei Mata temple. But one needs to climb a few hundred steps to reach there. It’s a small colouful temple with nice views around.

5. A little adventure doesn't hurt

Of course, being at a hill station, and not trekking over the hills doesn’t satisfy the soul. Adventure seekers choose to go on long multi-day treks, but we choose smaller one-day treks. The most popular trekking option in Dalhousie mountains is the Dainkund trek, and we did enjoy it a lot.

Dainkund Trek in Dalhousie Mountains

The mountains around Dalhousie offer a number of easy to moderate trekking options.  Very near (13 kms) to Dalhousie, is the Dainkund trekking point.  It’s an easy trek. Even our mom could actually make it to the half-way point! So, anyone can easily trek the whole distance of 2-3 kms. 

Dainkund is the highest point (2755 mts~9738 ft) in the near-Dalhousie region, and gives wonderful views of the Dhauladhar range, and Pir Panjal range, and if you ask a local/ a guide, they can help you locate the Kailash mountains as well.

First part of the trek:

Like most treks, the first part of Dainkund trek passes through an easy hike dotted with several tea stalls and local vendors selling herbs and essential oils. However, my memory goes back to the two little girls  we met on the trek,  with bunnies in their hands. Both of them were so sweet and friendly! The smiles on their faces made my day! Plus, the way they posed for a picture! For me, that was the best picture (below) of this trip.

The Mid-point:

At the mid-point of the trek, there’s a good resting shade and a nice ridge-like section to sit and relax. The hike was not really taxing on the body. Even then, the views around and the meadows were inviting enough sit down and bask in the sun. Mom couldn’t trek beyond this point, but we kept hiking the gentle slope. 

The second part of the trek:

As expected, the best views actually came after this point as the trek gained some elevation. It was in the second part only we could see the far away mountain ranges like the Pir Panjal range and the mount Kailash. After slowly hiking for about 2-3 hours, the trek ends at a small temple- Pholani Mata’s temple. Though the temple is rather modest, the 360 degree view from that point is worth trekking up to. 

The whole trek (up and down) takes about 4-5 hours, and it’s totally worth spending a day up there. 

Other trekking options:

6. in search of ancient heritage in chamba.

Our decision to spend a day in  Chamba  proved to be a great choice for us. The route from Dalhousie to Chamba, especially while nearing Chamba is absolutely scenic, and enjoyable. There is a bridge (Koti bridge) over the river Ravi just before reaching Chamba; ah! what a sight that was! We spent about 15 minutes near the bridge taking lovely pictures of Ravi flowing between the mountains.

Chamba is a great place for history and heritage lovers. The major heritage spots include:

Laxmi Narayan Temple: 

This 10th century Hindu temple has a lot of religious and historical significance. Particularly, I like the typical shape of the chhatris and shell roof of Himachali temples. The designs are meant to protect the temples from snow-fall. 

Legend has it that  Raja Sahil Verman had to sacrifice 8 of his sons in the process of acquiring a rare marble from Vindhyanchal for the idol of Lord Vishnu. In the end, the eldest son was able to bring the marble to the temple.    

Church of Scotland: 

Significantly, a Hindu king Sham Singh built this Church for the Christian community in Chamba. It’s a lovely little church in the main market. Unfortunately, when we visited, it was not open to public due to covid-19 related restrictions. But, we could take a few pictures from a distance.

Bhuri Singh Museum: 

Named after Raja Bhuri Singh, this museum houses great collection of artefacts from the Chamba region, like miniature paintings, huge doors from the palaces, and jewelry of the bygone era.

Rang Mahal: 

It’s an 18th century palace built by Raja Umed Singh. Its design is an amalgamation of the British and Mughal architectural styles.

Dalhousie in the mountains : Travel tips

Best time to visit:.

• Pleasant weather: Starting spring season in March, through summer and till the autumn till November
• Monsoon charm: Enjoy the rains from July to September
• Snow-fall lovers: Winter months of December to February

Day planning: 

On an average, 3 days are good to explore the mountains and major places places of interest in and around Dalhousie. 1 day for local Dalhousie; 1 day for Dainkund, Kalatop and Khajjiar; 1 day for a day-trip to Chamba and Chamera lake. If you have an additional day, visit small villages near Dalhousie for stunning view of the snow-capped mountains and relax in the meadows.

How to reach:  

Best way to reach Dalhousie is by taking an overnight train from Delhi/ Chandigarh to Pathankot, and hiring a taxi from there (2-3 hrs). 

How to move around:  

Though Dalhousie is in the mountains, the slopes across the town are not too steep. Walking around Dalhousie is enjoyable. If you like to spend the evening at the market, it’s advisable to stay close to either Gandhi chowk or Subhash chowk. For day-trips, hire a taxi. Though local buses are available, they take a lot of time; so, if you have enough time, take the local buses.

Where to stay: 

Being a relatively popular hill station, it has all sorts of staying options from luxury resorts/ hotels to budget hotels and homestays.

Some suggestions for budget hotels: Grand View hotel | Hills n Meadows | Smart Hill Kalatop | Zostel Dalhousie | Mohan Palace | Chobhyal Cottage | Holiday Inn | Alps Resort | Cedar Villa Homestay | Hotel Mount View.

Some good places to eat: 

• Restaurants/ Cafes: Old Sher-e-Punjab | Cafe Dalhousie | Kwality restaurant | Monga’s cafe | Bon Appetit | Moti Mahal.
• And don’t forget to have the mouth watering hot gulab jamuns and yummy tandoor chai (tea) at the Mall Road.

Concluding Remarks

Unlike the other hill stations in the Himalayas, Dalhousie is refreshingly peaceful. Though I was expecting a lot of crowd from Punjab and Himachal, it was a pleasant surprise to see Dalhousie and the mountains around it have a sleepy vibe. Besides, there are enough people around to have some action going.

We are not great shoppers; so, it didn’t really matter that there are not many shopping options. What we missed though was good restaurants and cafes. While on a leisure trip, food is an important part for most. Maybe some good cafes will come up there soon!

True, travel is in the details. Thanks Rupali, as always, your words matter.

The details of Dalhousie are quite interesting and mesmerizing. I really love the quite places and Dalhousie might be a perfect choice..the St Andrew’s church and St Patrick’s at Balun, the St Francis’ Church at Subash Chowk, and St John’s Church at Gandhi Chowk. are places to visit in Dalhousie which might be quite interesting.Khajjiar the mini Switzerland,looks gorgeous. It’s really a photographer’s delight. The first reading of the Chamera lake while driving down to the lake-entry point was mesmerizing and need to visit once. There are other natural hotspot which has its own charm. The main part is trekking Dainkund trek which must be very interesting to trek around 13 kms. Though there are other options of trekking also. The other important part was Chamba valley. Chamba is a great place for history and heritage lovers and there are many places to visit in and around chamba like Laxmi Narayan Temple, Church of Scotland,Bhuri Singh Museum and Rang Mahal. The final read was the travel guide which is really important for readers like us. A fantastic read.

As always, you encourage us by reading and remembering the details of it. I particularly loved the Chamba valley, and Kahjjiar meadows. Thanks a lot.

The details and descriptions are so balancing . Not ruining the excitement of visiting and exploring the place but at the same time detailing about what one should not miss while taking the trip.

I’m so glad you liked it. Keep reading, and giving feedback. Really helpful. And yes, next time when you come to Delhi, don’t ask me to go out of Delhi! 🙂

Jayvanti Einjen

I was happy to be able to trek the Dainkund peak. And Khajjiar is also a lovely place. We will go back.

Definitely, we are going back 🙂 I remember sleeping in the Khajjiar meadows…haha…

ancientterminus

Reading this reminded me of our time at Dalhousie. Getting up to Khajjiar is one of the most picturesque destinations in the thick cedar forests (activities include Zorbing and Paragliding). One can witness mesmerizing views of the Pir Panjal range and the Dhauladhar range when trekking to Dainkund

Absolutely well said. It’s a nature lover’s paradise. So many things to do, and for not doing anything, too! I loved the Khajjiar meadows as well, who wouldn’t! Thanks for your thoughtful words.

Under renovation

Abhay Bhatnagar

We stayed in Premium Suite room for 3 days and 2 nights... Location - good. Just 10 mins walk away from Gandhi Market. Also able to get good view (in patches) Flexibility: they provided an early check-in. Provided a standard room where we could freshen up while our room was being cleaned note this is basis the availability of room) Room - there is little difference in prices of exotic room and primer suite but premier suite is much better. Bathroom Accessories... Sofa cum bed in addition to bed is better. The view from room is very good Food - just about OK. We took MAP plan incl breakfast and dinner. Dinner offered limited options.. But perhaps that might be the standard for the place.. Property area... Fairly well spread property.. Rather huge property. Can walk around.. Parking - good space... Please note the property is under renovation /expansion so labour and noise is from morning till 8. 30 pm.. But that must wrap up soon.. Please check while booking. Overall.. Good place...

An enjoyable stay in a nice location

Pritha Raychaudhuri

The location is undoubtedly awesome and we had a nice lawn including swing in front of our room (109) and service is equally good. Their buffet breakfast which was complementary to us was really wholesome starting from bread to staffed paratha, poha everything was there, quality was good too and staff were really courteous. The flush of our bathroom was not working properly at all and the window was not closing either and one thing it should be confirmed that no bar-b-q will be arranged if anyone stays at room no. 109 unless anyone wants because the sound was loud which stayed till 10 pm. A good point about the location of the Mohan Palace Dalhousie is the local market of Gandhi Chowk is only 150 mt away from it. So you can pay a visit whenever you feel.

Ketan Arora

Staff was friendly. Food was very delicious with variety in buffet. Premium suit room was very spacious with extra bed facility for 2 children. We had booked premium suite for first day and standard room for the second day as at the time of booking it didn't show option for premium suite on the particular date. But luckily the manager upgraded our stay for 2nd day to the same room that's premium suite. I will definitely recommend this Mohan Palace Dalhousie and want to come back again here. This Mohan Palace Dalhousie is very close to Mall road & Tibetan market. Just 8 minutes walking.

Good hotel near the gandhi market

Jitin Tolani

Deluxe room has balcony has good view. Gandhi Market is downhill almost 8 mins walk. Food at Mohan Palace Dalhousie is above average and is not expensive as compared to few joints at market. If you have old age person then you need car as hill might be bit steep for elders. Taxi takes 100 for drop from market to mohan palace. Standard room is just OK old interior. Rooms are spacious. You get most of the TV channels. Entire day trip to khajjiar and other places except for chamera lake would cost around 2250 by taxi and one way trip to dharamsala via taxi would be 2800

Rooms could have been better

Located a few km away from the Subhash chowk, just near Gandhi Chowk, the Mohan Palace Dalhousie offers nice view of the mountains and the city. It has a vast parking space, nice dining hall and a beautiful balcony. The breakfast they served (it was included in my booking) was splendid but the meals ordinary. The rooms specially the 'standard' ones could have been better and cleaner considering their cost. Also, the Wi-Fi they provided never worked. Toilets are just rudimentary. The staff were helpful (specially Suresh who was looking after our room services).

Great location with Valley view rooms

Location of Mohan Palace Dalhousie is very good, walkable distance from Gandhi chowk / Mall Road. Hotel staff is very courteous and helpful. Rooms with Valley view are pretty awesome. The open sitting area is the best place in the Mohan Palace Dalhousie, in the night you can see clouds around you here and believe me it feels majestic. The only thing which could be better is breakfast, they repeat almost same menu every day. This can bore you if staying for more than 1 day. Overall it was a good experience.

Overall experience is dashing just loved it

Had an amazing time at Mohan Palace Hotel, location was nice with good open terrace, staff was courteous and food was really nice. As far as service is concerned the staff was really friendly and gave the prompt service. According to the quality of service and food you get the value for money. I fact staff interact to give you the feel of home away from home. Overall experience was dashing just loved it. I'll be looking forward for another trip to Dalhousie with the stay in Mohan palace.

Nice place, awesome Service.

Jitendra Mahida

Hotel location is nice. Gandhi market and Tibetan market is around 500 from the Mohan Palace Dalhousie. Hotel is very neat, clean and well maintained. Rooms are spacious. Hotel staff is very courteous and helpful. Food is not so good. Hence try food around Gandhi Market. Kwality restaurant near the market is expensive but food is nice. Street food is must to try specifically Maggie and momos. Overall experience is Dalhousie was good. People are nice.

This Mohan Palace Dalhousie my expectations in almost every way possible. Everything was perfect from location to food. Just go for it blindly. One advice - try to check in early and ask for an exotic toom on the top floor. The view from there is absolutely unforgettable.

Good location

Good Mohan Palace Dalhousie at good location. The food was good. The staff was co-operative. Parking also available. There was no place to stay for drivers though. We stayed for 1 day. It is close to main market. Walking distance.

Biswadeep Banerjee

The stay was good but there wasn't anything special about the stay that I could talk about. They should improve on the food. I would rate not more than 3 or 3.5.
