go to top Dalhausie : A journey through photographs :
 
Dain or Dayan Kund :- ( 2,745 metres ) 10 km. ) This is a towering and beautiful peak which offers panoramic views and gives you the feeling of being at the top of the world. The view from top is breathtaking. On a clear day, you can have the bird's eye view of the three main rivers - Beas, Ravi and Chenab from here. It is rare and you should bring a binocular with you to truly enjoy the panoramic views. You can also trek down through some outskirts ( called Pagdandi ) to enjoy the wilderness. You can clearly notice a deep quietness in the environment all around you. It is right that Dalhausie is the quiet most tourist place in India yet so full of life.

Kalatop :- ( 2,440 metres ) 8.5 km. ) The spot commands a beautiful and grand panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and eye travels wide over hill and dale, field and forest, smooth and ruggedness, till in the direction of Jammu and Kashmir, it meets a horizon of snow peaks. On the left side is the photograph of the Kalatop Rest House. Kalatop experiences heavy snowfall during winter and therefore should be visited during summer or before December. And not to mention the deep quietness in the environment that is one of the main features of Dalhausie.

St. Andrew Church :- St. Andrew's Church commonly known as the Church of Scotland was built in the year 1903 at Baloon by Protestant Christians. The Church is approximately one and half kms. from Dalhousie's bus stand. The Church building is in good condition but needs more than what is currently being offered. A brick boundary wall has been erected around it to save the building from mischief mongers. The enterance gate is always closed but you can go inside from the right corner of the main boundary wall. No matter if it remains closed now, it will always remind everyone of the great British rulling time.
St. John's Church :- This Church stands on the Gandhi Chowk approximately 2 kms. from the main bus stand of Dalhousie. This Church was the first to be built after the town of Dalhousie was founded. The church building stands in a good condition but its surroundings demand much better care. Service is conducted on every Sunday. There is a library situated just at the left side of the enterance gate. You can relax and find some really useful material regarding Dalhousie here. You can see many old and rare photographs of the British time. This library is worth visiting for those who seek a good knowledge about Dalhousie.
