Dalhousie Rest House Day Hike

The experience

What to expect

Starting from Zostel Kalpa, this trail descends toward Roghi village before climbing steeply through rocky terrain to reach the historic Dalhousie Rest House — a colonial-era cottage perched dramatically above the valley.

The route involves uneven ground and boulders, requiring careful footing throughout.


The effort is well worth it, with commanding views of the Sutlej Valley and the Kinner Kailash range greeting you at the top.
