Travel Tales - Himachal

The Beauty of Himachal

I have been residing for a year now in Jammu. Himachal Pradesh is next door but I got to visit some parts of this beautiful State only a few days ago!


My travel itinerary --- Jammu ---- Dalhousie  (via Pathankot) ---- Yol ---- Macleodganj ---- Dharamshala ---- Palampur ---- Andretta ---- back to Jammu
And all this in three days!!!


The Pine forests of  Dalhousie

Trekking to Kalatop

Pine forests, Lakes and undulating Meadows in Khajjiar

Hydrangeas and Larkspurs in full bloom 

Dalhousie Public School nestling in the hills

Quaint market place  - Dalhousie



The Norbulingka Monastery in Dharamshala

Mcleod ganj -- bit too congested!
The skies suddenly turned black on our way to Mcleod ganj
The Bhagsunag falls --- Can you spot it???
Another Dal Lake near Mcleod ganj
St. John's Church in the Wilderness - only building to survive the 1905 earthquake in Kangra

The Kangra Fort

The snow covered Dhauladhar kept us company

Tea gardens on our way to Palampur

Saurav Van Vihar at Palampur - the Martyr is remembered

The Shobha Singh Art Gallery at Andretta - Unbelievable!!



I also visited several temples on the way - the famous Jwalaji temple where the eternal flame continues to burn, the Brojeshwari temple and the Chamunda temple.
