Dalhousie



 In 1929 Shri NAthji came to Dalhousie from Amritsar. Shri Nathji's visit to Dalhousie left a bewildered populace wondering from where such a Divine Being had come, and why he had hidden himself for so long. A Divine Glow shone from his face. His Divine Beauty was such as to win the hearts of all.
Dalhousie  is a hill station in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The Dalhousie Town was named after Lord Dalhousie who was the British Governor-General in India while establishing this place as a summer retreat.
It was established in 1854 by the British Empire in India as a summer retreat for its troops and bureaucrats. 1853 Thirteen square miles of land comprising the five hills Kathalagli, Potrein, Terah (Moti Tibba), Bakrota, and Bhangora were acquired by the Government of India from the Raja of the Chamba state.  1860 Three level malls around Bakrota, Terah, and Potrein hills were laid down. The roads that connect these malls are still the main arteries of the city today.
Dalhousie being one of the beautiful tourist spots, plays an important role in the economy of the state. The major industry is tourism. Dalhousie has a huge number of hotels to accommodate the tourists. Dalhousie also offers several non-hotel stays like independent villas and bungalows which offer an alternative to typical hotels. There are just over 600 hotels,
Dalhousie has many places to visit. A favorite spot for tourists is the area near Alla. It is a potato field and it offers mesmerizing scenic landscape. Another popular spot is the area of Karelanu. It is famous for its precious water which healed a great leader, Subhas Chandra Bose. He was suffering from tuberculosis and he regularly drank the water from the natural spring in Karelanu and was healed.
