Dalhousie Rest House Day Hike
Provider: Himalayan Hideouts
The Dalhousie Rest House, Roghi Day Hike is a scenic trail through the peaceful forests and dramatic cliffs surrounding Roghi village near Kalpa. This refreshing day hike blends Himalayan landscapes, old-world charm, and quiet mountain paths, leading to the historic Dalhousie Rest House — a perfect escape for nature lovers, photographers, and slow travellers seeking untouched Kinnauri beauty.
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.
The return trek back to Zostel Kalpa is equally engaging, offering changing perspectives of the valley below.
