A serene hill station lesser known in comparison to the likes of Shimla, Nainital and Mussoorie but for people looking for a cerebral de-stress through an isolated yet peaceful serenity then Dalhousie is the place to hit. This place is not meant for ones who love streets bustling with shopping and activity, malls or wild partying. Dalhousie plays the role of a retreat primarily for single travelers but over the years it has developed the reputation of being a really good honeymoon spot as well.
