1 Days (Pick Up from Amritsar / Chandigarh and drive to Dharamshala )
Welcome aboard a wonderful gateway to Dharamshala Today, you will be picked up from Amritsar/Chandigarh Airport/Railway station and transferred to Dharamshala. From the earliest times until the British Raj, Dharamshala and its surrounding area was ruled by the Katoch Dynasty of Kangra. The Katoch Dynasty is said to be the oldest serving Royal Family in the world. The Royal Family still keeps a residence in Dharamshala, known as 'Clouds End Villa'. The indigenous people of the Dharamshala area are the Gaddis, a predominantly Hindu group who traditionally lived a nomadic or semi-nomadic (transhumant) lifestyle. Due to the lack of permanent settlements in the area, some Gaddis lost their seasonal pastures and farmland when the British and the Gurkhas arrived to settle. Arrive at the hotel, check in and relax. Evening free for leisure activities. Overnight at the hotel.
