Dharamsala is the main
hill station in the Kangra Valley - fertile,
undulating valley, lying between the gentle Shivalik Hills
and the foothills of the mighty Dhauladhars - a valley,
noted for the beauty of its scenery - lush terraces, wooded
hills, manicured tea gardens and sparkling streams. The
Dhauladhars, "the white mountains" that rise 4,000 m above
the valley floor, provide a dramatic backdrop. Picturesque
Dharamsala, built on a spur of the Dhauladhar range, commands
a splendid view of the surrounding country.
Originally a little hill resort built
by the British, Dharamasala rambles up in levels to very
near the snow line. While lower Dharamsala (1,250m) is
the busy commercial area with government buildings, the
bazaar and the bus stand, Upper Dharamsala (1,982m) has
suburbs with evocative names like Forsythganj and Macleodganj
that are quite fascinating.
