Lying on a Dhauladhar spur, from a War Memorial monument at 1300 meters to Mcleodganj at an altitude of 1770 meters , spread over an 8 kilometer rising slope the place has a district character. Lower Dharamsala houses shopping complexes and the upper regions consisting of Forsytheganj and Mcleodganj retain colonial township flavours.

Palampur is a town founded by British tea planters. The altitude, ample water and cool climate have retained Palampur as a right place for tea plantations since colonial days. The quaint landscape filled with meticulously maintained tea gardens is very scenic. Pleasant countryside walks are enriched by numerous gurgling rivulets, streams and brooks that are all full of life. White ranges of Dhauladhar mountains for a background give the place a magnificent dimension.
