  • Trip introduction

    If you're looking for a snow trek, there's no better place than Dalhousie. For decades now, this scenic hill station has attracted those looking for a winter experience. The snowfall in Dalhousie is said to be the most beautiful, and you'll be visiting at the perfect time. Passing through dense pine, oak, and deodar forests, this trail is packed with adventure and excitement. You get to visit the Kalatop Wild Sanctuary, which is a high altitude forest offering spectacular views of the surrounding areas. If you're lucky, you might be able to spot some of the Himalayan wildlife in this park, maybe even the Himalayan Black Bear! You'll also get to explore Khajjiar, popularly know as the mini Switzerland of India. This small hamlet is gorgeous any time of year, but in the winter, when it's almost buried in snow, it looks just like a Christmas postcard.

    Destination

    Dalhousie is a famous hill station located in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. This quaint little town still has some of the most beautiful colonial architecture. You'll be able to walk through churches, town squares, and more. Dalhousie is surrounded by thick pine and oak forests, with branches weighed down with snow. It's also perfectly positioned to give you spectacular views of snow-capped mountains.
