Dalhousie Khajjiar Chamba Dharamshala tour package

This Dalhousie Khajjiar Chamba Dharamshala tour package strings together four of the best-loved names in the Kangra and Chamba hills over 5 days and 4 nights. You start in Dharamshala and McLeodganj, the hill town travellers call Little Lhasa because the Dalai Lama lives here, then move across to Dalhousie for its colonial churches and pine walks, give a full day to the Khajjiar meadow and the heritage town of Chamba, and travel every leg by AC coach from Delhi and back. What sets this trip apart from the usual Dalhousie-Khajjiar circuit is Chamba itself: the Bhuri Singh Museum, the thousand-year-old Laxmi Narayan temple complex, the grassy Chaugan in the town's heart and the still water of Chamera Lake all get real time, not a drive-past. It suits couples, families and first-time visitors who want monasteries, old churches and green meadows without long treks. For more routes across the state, see our full range of Himachal tour packages, or browse dedicated Chamba tour packages.

Trip highlights

• Visit the Tsuglagkhang Complex in McLeodganj, the main temple and residence of the Dalai Lama, with the Namgyal Monastery and Tibet Museum alongside

• Give Chamba town a proper half day: the Bhuri Singh Museum, the Laxmi Narayan temple group and the open Chaugan

• See Khajjiar, the saucer-shaped meadow ringed by cedar forest that earns the name Mini Switzerland of India

• Walk the deodar trails of the Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary and stop by the calm Chamera Lake

• Explore Dalhousie's colonial churches, St John's, St Francis and St Patrick's, plus Panchpula and the Gandhi Chowk market

• Try zorbing, horse riding or a short paragliding hop at Khajjiar when conditions allow

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1: Overnight journey from Delhi to Dharamshala

Your trip begins in Delhi. Reach Majnu Ka Tilla by 7:30 pm to board the AC Volvo coach, which departs at 8 pm for Dharamshala. Settle in for the overnight run through the plains and into the Kangra foothills. There is no sightseeing today, just a comfortable overnight journey, and you arrive at Dharamshala around 7 am the next morning. (Volvo travel included. Your dinner before boarding is on your own.)

Day 2: Arrive Dharamshala, McLeodganj and Kangra sightseeing

You reach Dharamshala in the early morning and complete check-in at the hotel. After a wash and breakfast, head out to see McLeodganj and the Kangra side. You visit the Tsuglagkhang Complex, the main temple of the Dalai Lama, along with the Namgyal Monastery and the Tibet Museum, then the Bhagsu Nag temple with its short walk to the Bhagsu waterfall, and the deodar-ringed Dal Lake. There is time to browse the Tibetan market for handicrafts and momos. If you would like to add the 8th-century Kangra Fort near Gaggal or the HPCA cricket stadium, ask your planner to fit it into this day. Return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay. (Breakfast, dinner, sightseeing and stay included.)

Day 3: Dharamshala to Dalhousie, Dalhousie sightseeing

After breakfast, check out and drive to Dalhousie, a scenic run of about 120 km through the Kangra and Chamba countryside that takes four to five hours. On arrival you check in, then set out to see the town the British laid across five hills. You visit the colonial churches, St John's Church of 1863 on Gandhi Chowk, St Francis Church on Subhash Chowk, and St Patrick's Church, the largest of the three. From there the walk takes in Subhash Baoli, a spring among cedars with valley views, and the shops around Gandhi Chowk for Chamba rumals and shawls. Dinner and an overnight stay at the Dalhousie hotel. (Breakfast, dinner, sightseeing and stay included.)

Day 4: Full-day Khajjiar and Chamba loop

Today is the heart of the trip and the leg that gives this combo its name. After breakfast you set off on the Dalhousie-Khajjiar-Chamba loop. First is the Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary, a dense deodar and oak forest with marked trails and birdlife, then Khajjiar, about 23 km from Dalhousie, the wide green meadow with a small lake and the golden-domed Khajji Nag temple at its edge, plus a 9-hole golf course. You can try zorbing, horse riding or paragliding here at your own cost. From Khajjiar it is a short drive on to Chamba town, where you spend the afternoon at the Bhuri Singh Museum, known for its Pahari miniature paintings, the Laxmi Narayan temple complex of six stone shikhara shrines dating to the 10th century, and the open Chaugan grassland in the town centre with the old Rang Mahal nearby. On the way back to Dalhousie you stop at Chamera Lake, the reservoir on the Ravi. Dinner and overnight stay in Dalhousie. (Breakfast, dinner, sightseeing and stay included.)

Day 5: Dalhousie sightseeing and departure for Delhi

After breakfast, check out and use the day for the rest of Dalhousie. You visit Panchpula, where a stream feeds a series of pools and the Subhash Baoli spring sits among cedars, the Satdhara falls known for their mineral-rich water, and the viewpoints around Bakrota Hills and Subhash Chowk, with a last stroll through the Tibetan market at Gandhi Chowk. If time allows, add Dainkund Peak, the highest point around Dalhousie. In the evening you reach the Volvo stand in Dalhousie and board the overnight AC coach back to Delhi, reaching the city early the next morning. (Breakfast, sightseeing and return Volvo included.)

Places you cover on this trip

A quick guide to the main stops, so you know what each day holds.

Best time to visit Dalhousie, Khajjiar and Chamba

March to June brings clear, pleasant days across all four stops and is the easiest window for first-time visitors, with daytime highs comfortable for sightseeing and cool evenings. December to February is cold and is the season for snow, when Khajjiar and Dalhousie can turn white and the meadow looks its best under a light cover. Carry heavy woollens and check road conditions on the Chamba routes. The July to September monsoon brings heavy rain to this belt, with a real risk of landslides and roadblocks, so most travellers avoid it. Pack layers whatever the month, since hill evenings stay cool even in summer.

How to reach: Delhi, Pathankot and Chandigarh

This package runs on an overnight AC Volvo from Delhi both ways, so you do not need to arrange the long-haul leg yourself. If you would rather come independently or from another city, the nearest airport is Gaggal (Kangra) about 13 km from Dharamshala, with flights from Delhi. For the Dalhousie side, Pathankot airport is closer. By rail, Pathankot Junction is the main broad-gauge railhead, roughly 85 to 90 km from both Dalhousie and Chamba, with taxis and buses onward. By road, Dharamshala is about 250 km from Chandigarh (six to seven hours) and around 480 km from Delhi. Khajjiar sits about 23 km from Dalhousie and Chamba town about 24 km beyond Khajjiar, all covered by road on the Day 4 loop.

Hotels

You stay 2 nights in Dharamshala and McLeodganj and 2 nights in Dalhousie in comfortable 3-star hotels or guesthouses, with daily breakfast and dinner. The current properties are Hotel Mount Edge on Sunset Point Road in McLeodganj and Mohan Palace near Gandhi Chowk in Dalhousie. You can upgrade to a 4-star or premium stay, or shift to a budget option, when you customise the package.

Inclusions and exclusions

Price and cancellation policy

The package starts at Rs 17,581 per person on twin-share against a strike price of Rs 19,110, and the final rate moves with your travel dates, hotel category, group size and any add-ons. Cancellation charges depend on how far ahead of departure you cancel and on the hotels, Volvo seats and transport already confirmed for your dates, since peak-season Dalhousie stays and Volvo tickets are often booked on non-refundable rates. Free changes are usually possible well before travel, with charges rising closer to the start date.
