About this drive
Dharamshala and Dalhousie are the two hill towns most visitors want to pair, and there is no direct train or easy bus between them. A private taxi is the simple answer: one morning's drive west along the base of the Dhauladhar, then up into the cedars of Chamba district.
We run it in both directions, often as part of our Dharamshala–Dalhousie–Amritsar loop.
The road
Dharamshala down to Gaggal, west on NH154 through Shahpur and Nurpur, then up through Tunuhatti and Banikhet to Dalhousie.
Worth a stop on the way
- Nurpur Fort: Ruined fort with the Brij Raj Swami temple, about halfway.
- Banikhet: The junction below Dalhousie, with the turn for Chamba.
Season and road conditions
Open all year. Snow can close the last stretch into Dalhousie for a day in January–February.
Local tip: Leave after breakfast and you can be at Khajjiar for a late lunch the same day. Ask for the combined fare.
What the fare includes
