| Khajjiar – A stunning valley with a spring in the middle, while being quite beautiful, it gets littered with trash in the peak season of July when a massive number of tourists come. Known as the ‘Switzerland of India’ for the meadowy look. |
| Dainkund Walk – A gentle, sloping walk near an Air Force base in Dalhousie, leading to a Hindu temple. Alah Water Tank – The main water tank in the area, holding 100,000 gallons. |
| Upper Bakrota – The highest area in Dalhousie, it has a number of estates, a residential school, and an Army barracks at the top. The area is circled by a road called Bakrota Walk, on the way to Khajjiar which ends at Alah Water Tank. It was the preferred destination of the landed gentry of Punjab during the Raj, now populated by similar residents from the new India. Some of the houses are worth seeing, but are mostly on private gated estates |
| Kala Tope Rest House – It’s on the way to Khajjiar at the toll barrier for Kala Tope, a road to the left of the barrier leads to the government rest house, a nice quiet spot and a great place for a picnic. The 3-km route through dense pine forests from Lakkadmandi to Kala Tope is simply exhilarating. No cars are allowed on this 3-km route. |
| Do - Go to the Tibetan market and have a look around just for fun. Enjoy long walks; carry an umbrella if its cloudy. Picnics are the thing to do in Dalhousie. |
