**Dalhousie**
The town sits on a series of hills, with views toward the Ravi River valley on one side and the Dhauladhar range on the other. The market area is compact and has a handful of local shops and cafés. The architecture in Dalhousie retains more colonial-era buildings than most Himachal towns.
