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. |
