Chandigarh → Dharamshala (250 km, 6 hrs)
Pickup and drive via Una/Kangra. Evening at McLeodganj market and Dalai Lama Temple.
Dharamshala sightseeing
Bhagsu waterfall, Naddi viewpoint, cricket stadium, Norbulingka and tea gardens.
💡 Driver's tip: The Naddi sunset never repeats — reach 30 minutes early and claim the bench on the left ridge.Dharamshala → Dalhousie (130 km, 4 hrs)
Kangra Fort stop option, then into Dalhousie's pines. Mall Road evening.
Dalhousie & Khajjiar
Khajjiar (Mini Switzerland), Kalatop forest, Panchpula and Dainkund.
💡 Driver's tip: Khajjiar's far meadow edge (past the lake) is where the postcard photos live — most visitors never walk there.Dalhousie → Chandigarh (330 km, 8 hrs)
Comfortable drive home with doorstep drop. Tour ends.
The peaceful side of Himachal — this 5-day tour from Chandigarh pairs Dharamshala–McLeodganj's Tibetan calm with Dalhousie's colonial pines and the Khajjiar meadow, for travellers who prefer monasteries and mountain views over crowded adventure parks.
A smart route detail: we run Dharamshala first, Dalhousie second — ending at the quieter station leaves you rested for the drive home, and the Kangra-valley connecting road is best done in daylight. It's the kind of sequencing knowledge that separates a driver who's done this fifty times from a map app.
Best time: March to June and October–November. Winter (Dec–Feb) for snow at Khajjiar and Dalhousie.
