How far is Khajjiar from Dalhousie?
About 17 km by road through the Kalatop forest. The old version of this page said 7 km — that was a mistake.
Is the drive from Delhi overnight?
Yes. The outward drive of about 520 km runs overnight so the first morning can be spent in McLeodganj.
Can we fly into Kangra instead?
Yes. Kangra airport at Gaggal is about 15 km from Dharamshala; tell us your flight times and we will start the tour from there.
Can we see Kangra Fort or Bathu ki Ladi?
Yes, on request. Kangra Fort, the Masrur rock-cut temples, Bathu ki Ladi and Aghanjar Mahadev at Khaniyara can be added to the Dharamshala days. Bathu ki Ladi stands clear of the Pong reservoir only from about March to June.
