The sight of the snow capped Dhauladhar ranges covered with thickly rich forests and spinning in a car on the tip of a mountain as you go driving out and around Dalhousie can be an absolutely thrilling experience. Built over five hills, the roads of Dalhousie are famous for being shaped as the numeral 8. Driving towards Chamba, a small ancient town which stands on the right bank of the river Ravi, is filled with surprising turns, often opening to horizons of meadows and hidden along the thickly covered pin forest routes. This is the ultimate break you need, peppered with fresh alpine air and inspiration from the simple lives of heart warming mountain people. to
