Named after Lord Dalhousie who was the British Viceroy of India in 1854, it was a summer retreat for the British Troops. It goes back to the time when Punjab was annexed to British after 2nd World War. Lt. Col Napier who was enchanted with the beauty of the place in Chamba State, thought of giving it a true identity. And thus in the Dain Kund Range , at the western edge of Dauladhar range of Himalayas, a new town was built. Sir Donald McLeod suggested that it be given the name of Lord Dalhousie who was then the Viceroy of India.Today it is one of the most sought after hill stations of India.
Its not a world apart but its also not from this world. Its just like the beautiful cake of the beauty of the nature with the topping of man made structures. Its a new exploit every time you visit it.(Make sure you have at least two to three days visit).
