 Dhogria Tribal Hamlet For some the people of Dhogira Tribals have the smallest home huts in the world. For us these are the people who have kept their ages old traditions alive by living in the same manner their ancestors lived. A must see place in Dalhousie. |

Dalhousie at its best
Where and Why The wild flowers, the forest flowers, the lower town, the Thandi Sarak, Garam sarak.... if I were to list out the places you can visit in Dalhousie, it will be a long list. Its a beautiful place and you will simply fall in love with. Despite a number of people living here, you will simply fall in love with the place. Its a place which was the inspiration for Rabindranath Tagore to make Shantiniketan in Calcutta (its about 140km from Kolkatta). A walk to the St. Francis Church and St. Pauls Church watching the day to day life of Dalhousie is a different experience in all. A straight trip from Jalandhar via Ambala and Liudhiana I reached this land of beauty in the morning hours before the first sunlight. (You can also reach here by air the nearest airport being in Gaggal (Kangra), around 140 km from Dalhousie. Not very far away from the Museum is the Kalatop-Khajjiar Trail. Its another place famous for its scenic beauty, you will find a number of people here especially in the evenings. When you go down from here there is this Dhogria Tribal Hamlet. Small huts with small people, a sort of rare view; you will enjoy being among them. Take some splendid photographs and then return to the valley. There are a number of hotels, lodges, restaurants; all serving variety of food ranging from ethnic to continental and Chinese food. Most of them serve good food here and I tried one of them to cool down my hunger pang. On the Gandhi Chowk there is the Rajas Hunting Lodge. Roughly 2.5 km from Gandhi Chowk is the residence of the erstwhile Chamba ruler, whose family continues to stay here during summer. The last but not the least is the Tibetan Market on the Gandhi Chowk. Here you will find a wide variety of Bhuddist Paintings, woolens, variety of copper and silver diyas. Shopping here can be a different experience in all. Nearby is the Handloom Crafts Center in the Poteryn Road. Its known for its Kullu and Chamba Shawls. Suggestions
