Dalhousie

"The Little Switzerland of India"

Dalhousie is a popular hill station in Himachal Pradesh, boasting views of the snow-capped peaks of the Dhauladhar ranges. Dalhousie is famous for its meadows, dense jungles, and waterfalls. It is especially famous amongst honeymooners and family vacationers.

The hill station has the same effect on tourists today, with its waterfalls, rivers making their way through mountains, dense forest trails that run parallel to enormous cliffs with grand views of Dauladhar range in the distance and a couple of churches that were built during the British Raj. Cafes, markest, Mall Road, those are equally convincing reasons to plan a trip to Dalhousie.

One of the ways the British left their imprints on Dalhousie was the establishment of churches. St. Patrick's Church is one of them. Built in 1909, it is the largest church in the town. Despite being built such a long time back, it stands in an impressive condition today. The interiors play as much an important role as the exteriors in lending it an elegant appearance. The low lying chandeliers in the inside and the latticed windows on the outside, both attract the attention of the onlooker to the same degree.
