Itinerary

Day1
Arrive Amritsar - Dharamshala (Approx. 210 Kms / 5½ Hrs)
On arrival at Amritsar, Meet and Greet by the Tour Representative and transfer to Dharamshala. It is a place that is profuse with picturesque locations and amazing vistas. You will get a great peace of mind after visiting this place. Dharamshala (also spelled Dharamshala) is known as the home of the Dalai Lama, but the untidy market town where the buses pull in is actually Lower Dharamshala. The Tibetan spiritual leader is based approx. 3km up the hill in Upper Dharamshala, also known as McLeod Ganj, and that's where most visitors are heading. When people locally talk about Dharamshala, they usually mean Lower Dharamshala. On arrival at Dharamshala, check in to the hotel. Rest of the day is at leisure where you can explore the city on your own. Overnight stay at Dharamshala Hotel.

Day3
Dharamshala - Dalhousie (Approx. 125Kms / 4Hrs)
After the breakfast, checkout of Dharamshala Hotel and drive to Dalhousie. With its plunging pine-clad valleys and distant mountain views, Dalhousie is another of those cool hill retreats left behind by the British. Today it survives as a relatively staid escape for honeymooners and families from the plains. Enroute visit Satdhara Falls and Panchpula. The word Panchpula means five bridges and it is the place where a descending stream flows and feeds several pools. Panchpula is the main stream that supplies water to cities of Dalhousie and Balloon. A monument has been built where several streams meet at Panchpula in the memory of Sardar Ajit Singh, who was a freedom fighter and uncle of Bhagat Singh. On the way to Panchpula is Satdhara, a union of seven tiny springs. Upon arrival at Dalhousie, transfer and check in to the hotel. Overnight stay at Dalhousie Hotel.

Khajjiar is part of the notified Kalatop - Khajjiar sanctuary. Overnight stay at Dalhousie Hotel.

On arrival in Amritsar proceed to visit Indo-Pak, Attari Wagah Border to watch Flag Retreat Ceremony- Wagah, an army outpost on Indo-Pak border 30 Kms from Amritsar where the daily highlight is the evening "Beating the Retreat" ceremony. Soldiers from both countries march in perfect drill, going through the steps of bringing down their respective national flags. As the sun goes down, nationalistic fervour rises and lights are switched on marking the end of the day amidst thunderous applause. After the visit, return to Amritsar and check in to the hotel.
