Overview
5 Nights 6 Days Dharamshala McLeod Ganj Dalhousie Tour
This trip covers the Kangra and Chamba side of Himachal. Three nights in Dharamshala give you time for McLeod Ganj, Bhagsu waterfall and the tea gardens, with an optional Triund trek.
Two nights in Dalhousie follow, with a full day at the green meadow of Khajjiar.
Good to know: this Dharamshala McLeod Ganj Dalhousie Tour covers the Kangra and Chamba side of Himachal, which most first-time travellers skip in favour of Shimla and Manali, even though the monasteries, tea gardens and pine meadows here are just as rewarding.
