My Journey from Palampur to Dalhousie.

                My Journey From Palampur  to Dalhousie..............

Across the ghats ,on our drive to Dalhousie from Nurpur.

We were at Shahpur around 3:30pm after all those local sightseeing at Palampur. After Lunch at a local resturant by the highwayside ,we started off to Nurpur. NURPUR to DALHOUSIE is approx. 69kms distance. After taking the diversion from Nurpur towards LAHRU junction,we were bit confussed about out route , though our driver was telling that this route is very picturques but , by this time we were very exhausted ...we moved on; The road passed thru' high mountains & bit deep gorges... By the time we reached Lahru ', we intended to have a cup of tea at the junction & decide whether to take on the JOT ROUTE or TUNNAHATTI-BANIKHET route....as the later one is bit longer & Jot route is steeper. Tunnahatti route passes thru' deep jungles( State reserve forest area)...Ultimately we decided to take on the Tunnahatti route;

The beautiful hill town of Dalhousie by the Pirpanjal range.

Myself, at the ghats on our drive off to Dalhousie.

Our resort at Dalhousie.

     As we moved on , many a times the thought off being ontop of all the surrounding mountain peaks ,kept my heart beating faster, the exhausted mind took its punch ,over the excitements of driving across the mighty Dhauladhar Range towards the Pirpanjal range..........Couldn't use the camera much ,as it was getting dark &the really twisted & narrow roads across was making a scarry feeling. At the end of the Reserve Forest at Tunnahatti , there's a checkpost ,where drivers details & other checkings r conducted before one can drive off towards Dalhousie Cantt. area.
   We had our bookings at Mt. View Hotel, Dalhousie ,which was very close to the Main Bustand at Dalhousie, So didn't find much hassle finding it out........... The next 2 nights we'll be here at Dalhousie which is expected to reach subzero temp. by night .
