10 DAYS
Day 1: Left for Pathankot on a night train. Confusion and tamasha at the old Delhi railway station. Dhauladhar Express that neve
r came on platform 8 did to the extreme surprise of many senior ticketing officials. It came without electricity, so the AC did not work. But all turned out well in the end.
Day 2: Arrived at Pathankot around 9.30 am. Haggled with taxi wallahs to go to Dalhousie. Reached by noon. Stayed at Hotel Spring, Gandhi Chowk. Nice, comfy place. Not in the midst of things. Ate at Kwality Restaurant- good food, cosy ambience. [Things to do in Dalhousie: Dalhousie City-The Mall- Make an 8, Kalatop, Khajjiar, Punjpula, Chamera Dam Trail.]
Day 3: Took a Taxi from Subhash Chowk to Mcleodganj via Khajjiar. Small dhabha opposite the taxi stand serves sumptuous food at very reasonable rates. Khajjiar a bit of a disappointment. Hardle any lake, grass overgrown with horse shit. Good dhabhas around though. Drive from Khajjiar to Dharamsala is amazing. The route is not used too much so the roads are good, traffic-less and very scenic. It cuts through the Dhauladhar range overlooking
Chamba valley towards Kangra valley. The drive is long but not too tiring if you're not the driver and are in a car that is not too crowded.
