    Frequently asked questions

    Pricing is provided on request. Your travel expert will prepare a customised quotation based on your dates, group size and preferences.

    The Dalhousie & Khajjiar tour is the short 2-night route to India's Mini Switzerland: an overnight Volvo from Delhi to Dharamshala, a drive up to Dalhousie, a full day on the Khajjiar meadows and lake with Panchpula waterfall and the colonial churches, then the Volvo back. It is the shortest way to reach the Khajjiar meadows from Delhi in a weekend.

    This suits two adults who want the alpine-meadow scenery and the colonial hill-town feel without a long multi-stop drive. Palyatra arranges the Volvo tickets, the Dharamshala–Dalhousie transfer, the Dalhousie hotel and the Khajjiar day in one private vehicle so the only decisions on the day are where to wander on the meadow.

    Best time: March to June and September to November for clear meadows; December to February for snow. Carry warm layers — Dalhousie sits high and stays cool even in summer.
