Chandigarh to Dharamshala to Dalhousie

About this trip

A night in Dharamshala, then two in Dalhousie, with its old bridges and springs and a day on the green meadow at Khajjiar.

One of our Himachal Pradesh tour packages from Kerala. Flights quoted from your city.

Who this version is for

Dalhousie and Khajjiar, with the drive up split in two. Instead of one long day from Chandigarh, you stop for a night in Dharamshala. Next morning you carry on to Dalhousie and see Panchpula and Subhash Bowli that afternoon. Khajjiar gets a full day to itself, with time on the meadow and around its small lake. It suits families and anyone who would rather not spend a whole day on the road. For a shorter break, Dalhousie Pine Hills fits Dalhousie and Khajjiar into two nights. For Shimla too, see Shimla, Dharamshala and Dalhousie.

From our travellers

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    We made our decision on the trip very last minute. But they managed to book us a great stay in Munnar very easily and conveniently. Even when all the resorts were sold out and high priced, they booked us an amazing resort at cheaper rates than anyone else. Will surely choose them for any bookings or travel deals moving forward. Thank you guys so much for the remarkable services.

    We, a group of seven members, recently had a thrilling holiday in Vietnam for 8 days. The entire itinerary, travel and accommodation arrangements were done by Team Ethan, led by Ms. Ruby. We had a memorable vacation at two destinations, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and the accommodation at both was very comfortable, with tasty food. The tour itinerary was perfect, with courteous and supportive local guides and comfortable travel by vehicle, and all of us really enjoyed the trip. Kudos to Team Ethan for arranging such an exciting trip.

    We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.
