I do not agree that khajjiar can be given a miss at all.. in fact you must stay there in the cottage right in the middle of the meadow to enjoy the natural and breathtaking beauty of Khajjiar. You wake up in the morning and open the door to the beautiful sight of the meadow before you and animals grazing the grass.. Its simply awesome.. Dalhousie is not at all impressive and i was totally disappointed to see the place which seemed like a concrete jungle to me. If you love nature and want peace then do stay at khajjiar and not dalhousie. You may not enjoy the place if you are visiting it for a few hours. You must stay there to experience the tranquility the place has to offer... but i guess its more like beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.. some find concrete jungles breattaking whereas i find being with nature beautiful.

Banikhet and Dalhousie , both are good places, I stayed in Banikhet at one Mr. Colonel Ahalwat a retired army officer house on rent for few years and use to visit Dalhousie on Sundays. It is really Beautiful and recommend to visit the place
Dalhousie and khajjiar are beautifull place, I stayed in BANIKHET and happend to visit this place on almost every holiday, skip tours to SIMLA /Mussorie, you will love this place.
I visited this place some 5 years back at the end of April...and still i cant forget such nice experience..if u want to avoid typical rush at hill stations like simla,Manali etc...people go and visit this place...simpy beautiful...
Do not visit Dalhousie if you like Simla or Masourie. Its not a usual hill station, its a kind of town where you stay, especially if you are an artist like writer or painter, as it can be closest to the nature. and if you come here with children then you'll find this place boring, as there is not much to offer. and khajiar is a must go place especially if you are a tracker and like para gliding, its highest and longest in the country Rs 2500-3000 I feel pity for this small town when i see illiterate tourists throwing plastic bags and littering around.
easiest way to reach dalhousie via pathankot and take bus straight dalhousie or banikhet, from banikhet you can hire taxi, dalhousie is really beautiful and cheap too.
