The Timeless Charm of Dalhousie and Khajjiar
Spread across five scenic hills in Chamba district, Dalhousie is celebrated for its Scottish church architecture, fragrant pine trails, and serene isolation. Combined with the emerald meadow of Khajjiar (officially christened India's Mini Switzerland by the Swiss Ambassador), this pair is a staple for family vacationers.
