This hill village is located 17 kilometres to the northeast of Kangra town on a point of the Dhauladhar range. This hill station is covered with oak and pine trees, with a valley in front and three sides of the town surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The snowline is possibly easier to reach in Dharamshala than in any other hill resort, and with an early start, it is doable to walk to a snow point in one day.
Kangra district headquarters are located at Dharamshala.
Dharamsala is famous for its breathtaking scenery, peace, and tranquilly. It has tea gardens, tall pine trees, and trees that provide wood. Wintertime temperatures can reach the freezing threshold, necessitating the wearing of thick wool clothing. The weather is warm in the summer, thus light cottons and woollens are advised.
