It is built on five hills facing each other. Located on the western edge of the Dhauladhar mountain range of the Himalayas, it is surrounded by the beautiful scenery of snow-capped peaks. Dalhousie is situated between 5900 and 8800 feet above sea level. The best time to visit is in the summer, and the peak tourist season is from May to September.
