Panch Pulla is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Dalhousie. Your first stop of the one day local tour is only 3 KM from Dalhousie. The water bodies that flow through the town of Dalhousie are all fed from the waters of Panch Pulla. It originates from the North of Dayakund. Dayakund is also a spot of cultural and religious significance.
Panch Pulla in local language means ‘five bridges’. The spot is enclosed in a blanket of tall pine and deodar trees. The beauty of Panch Pulla is heightened during the months of monsoon.

The water of the falls is believed to have healing properties and the ability to cure skin problems. This may probably be due to the presence of mica in the waters.

For your next stop, Khajjiar, you will be driving a short distance of 16 KM in a private cab. Khajjiar is lovingly called ‘Mini Switzerland’ and the ‘Switzerland of India’. A short drive will bring you to a town blessed with natural beauty, lush green plateaus, and the beautiful Khajjiar Lake. This charming village is situated at the foothills of the Dhauladhar range of the Western Himalayas. You will especially like Khajjiar if you are enthusiastic about untouched lakes, forests and pastoral grounds.

A short drive of 5 KM from Dalhousie on Pathankot Road will lead you to Ganji Pahari. Lack of trees or vegetation on these hills gives the hill an appearance of baldness.
Ganji Pahari offers beautiful panoramic views of the mesmerizing hills and forests. The snaking trails of the mountains make it an enjoyable route for trekkers. The trekking here is moderately strenuous. You can cover the distance in fifty minutes. We advise you to undertake the trek. Trekking is closed in winters since the entire hill is covered with a thick layer of snow. There are no restaurants or shops in the area to carry your snacks and drinks.
