Dharamsala - Chamundaji Tour

Dharamsala was recognized s headquarter of Kangra District in march 1855. 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.

Chamundaji: Chamundaji is a famous pilgrimage place where many descend to pay obeisance to the presiding goddess. With Dhuladhar ranges sheltering the temple complex on three sides, the fourth one opens out into a wooded valley with scenic settings. A temple dedicated to warring deity Chamundaji is located on the right bank of river Baner (also called Banganga), a tributary of river Beas. Holy waters of Baner have been converged into a man made bathing ghat for pilgrims to take a holy dip in. A temple glorifying Lord Shiva as Nandikeshwar in the temple complex is equally revered.
