The drive from Amritsar to Dalhousie
Dalhousie is 198 km from Amritsar, and the road is generous for most of it: the Pathankot highway, then the climb from Banikhet through deodar forest to the town itself. Four and a half hours is realistic in a car, a little more if you stop for breakfast. Ranjit Sagar dam near Pathankot is an easy break point with a lake view. The town spreads over five hills, so your driver will usually drop you at Gandhi Chowk or Subhash Chowk depending on where you are staying. Khajjiar, the meadow that people call mini Switzerland, is 27 km away and fits comfortably into the same day. Panchpula, Subhash Baoli and Kalatop are all short drives. May and June are the cool escape months, and January is when Dalhousie gets snow.
