Adjacent to the Devi Dehhra temple, this picturesque garden boasts three lush grass lawns created by the Tourism Department for visitors to enjoy. The landscape is adorned with stunning mountains and meandering rivers, creating a harmonious symphony for the senses.
Enjoyed a small stop on the way back from Chamera lake to Dalhousie- so worth it. Quite tea with no other people around by a small cabin next to the voice of water splashing on rocks. A mindfulness spot.

Nothing is there, it's all barren and unused. Once upon a time it used to be a lively place. Now there is nothing. Don't waste your time going there, rather go to some other place. Still wishing that the local administration pay attention for its upkeep and make it worth visiting again

St. Francis Church, located in the Moti Tiba area near Subhash Chowk, is a historic Catholic church dating back to 1894. The church boasts Victorian-era architecture and is surrounded by serene Deodar trees. Inside, visitors can admire Belgian glass and intricate stonework.

Visited during Christmas and was a beautiful place to be at. We need to remove our footwear outside to visit the church (just to let you all know). The walk towards the church is also beautiful. Don’t forget to click pics at the viewpoint just across the church

St. Francis is a must-visit Catholic Church open for visitors all through the day and can be walked / entered till the altar. Quaint, picturesque, and historical architecture. While the North India St. John's Church 2km from this place is in ruins and not allowed to go till the altar ; this is open for visitors.
Rebecca L — Google review
A peaceful and charming old church that gives you a feel of colonial-era Dalhousie. St. Francis Church is surrounded by tall deodar trees and offers a quiet escape from the usual tourist rush. The architecture is simple yet beautiful, and the stained glass windows add a lovely touch of color and history. It’s a great place to sit in silence, light a candle, or just soak in the calm atmosphere. You don’t need too much time to explore — it’s a quick stop, but definitely worth it if you enjoy heritage sites or just want some quiet time. The church is located near Subhash Chowk, so it’s easy to reach on foot. Sometimes, it’s closed during certain hours, so check timings before going. Perfect for a short, serene break during your Dalhousie visit.

This Victorian-style church is a very popular tourist spot in Dalhousie. Located in front of Subhash Chandra Bose statue in Subhash chawk, dalhousie. This church is surrounded by deodar trees and the entrance staircase is very beautiful. The inside of the church is made of wood and Belgian glass. A very calm and peaceful place to spend a morning in Dalhousie.

We visited the church on Maunday Thursday 2025. Complete solitude and with such tranquility, ensured that we spent quality time in reflection and prayer. One can also appreciate the elegant architectural details of an era gone by. Limited parking available, with the church at an elevation from the road and accessible by road and steps.
Rohit A — Google review
St. Francis Church in Dalhousie has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. * Construction (1894): The church was constructed in the year 1894 by a collaborative effort of Army and Civil Officers and local civilians. * Architecture: It is a prime example of typical British or Victorian-era architecture, bearing a strong resemblance to many famous churches in England. Its design features intricate stonework, beautiful glasswork (including Belgian glass), and sometimes exquisite wooden ceilings. * Maintenance and Regulation: Since its construction, the church has been maintained and regulated by the Catholic Diocese of Jalandhar. * Significance: It stands as a prominent monument in Dalhousie, reflecting the colonial past and the religious life of that era. It has also become a significant tourist attraction, drawing visitors with its serene atmosphere, historical charm, and architectural beauty. * Current Status: Despite being over a century old, the church remains well-preserved and continues to be a place of worship, holding regular Sunday masses. It's in Subhas Chok. Must enjoy this historic, beautiful, and calm place.

A feeling of solitude and solace is the main thing here. Small but quite beautiful church. It has its own parking area, and a small entrance garden. Located near subhas chowk. Few steep steps uphill road one had to take to enter inside.

This church is located on Subhash chowk and it is currently in a very bad shape. Renovation was going on and there wasn't any crowd. The vicinity of the place is good and the atmosphere is quite peaceful. Overall it could be a great place after the renovation and good maintenance.

Peaceful pilgrim place where people come from various parts of India to wish and pray for their goodwill. However the Sarovar is in bad shape and needs a lot of cleaning.

Pandori Dham is not just a spiritual destination—it’s an experience that touches your soul. The peaceful aura, divine energy, and unwavering devotion felt here are beyond words. Every corner tells a story—from the serene sarovar to the murals that bring the Ramayana alive. I felt deeply connected, grounded, and spiritually recharged. The langar, the darshan, and the presence of the 1108 Acharya Raghubir Das ji all come together to create a sense of belonging. It’s a place where time slows down, and the heart feels full. If you’re seeking inner peace and divine blessings, Pandori Dham is a must-visit.
Anuj M — Google review
Pandori Dham is a serene and picturesque destination. The main gate and spacious parking area make it convenient for visitors. The temple's interior is meticulously maintained, exuding tranquility. The temple complex features various sacred spots for worship and reflection. We visited with our family and felt a deep sense of peace. There's also a cave, now closed, which was once used as a passage. It's said to stretch far, even connecting to Haridwar. Outside the temple lies a serene pond with a Shiva idol. We strolled around, enjoyed the park, and spotted peacocks nearby. During rainfall, the place becomes even more enchanting. *Tips for visiting:* 1. Ideal for family outings. 2. Offers spiritual solace and peace. 3. Natural beauty and peacock spotting. Pandori Dham is a haven for spiritual rejuvenation and relaxation.

My parents say they are hooked to this place from Generations. So we have got to know this place from family only and we tend to visit twice or thrice a year. Whenever some marriage happens in my family, it is custom to donate bedsheets blanket and pillows here. Reason I don't know but that's what we are supposed to do as told by my great grand maternal mother. So recently we did that. Place is hub to nature. One can easily spot the peacocks here and all the Flora and fauna. The place has alot of importance. They say under guruji one pet dog specifically female dog just ate almost 50 KG opium in front of jahangeer जहांगीर badshah and then That king alloted the whole space wherever that dog went. Lot of parking space is available but the link road as of today was under construction which connects pandhori to national highway. Langar is available nearby 1 to 2PM. Tea snacks will be available from 4 PM. SBI bank and ATM are available here for working days only.One has to bow heads in front of Baba mahesh das ji temple while Coming and going also then only the visit will be completed. Market offers prasad which you can take along to temple. Do come and explore this place. Students cannot come without teachers. People come with newly married couples and get blessings of guruji. People come here to get the names of newly born babies. Visit and enjoy.

Masroor Rock-cut Temple

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Masroor Rock Cut Temple, also known as Himalayan Pyramid, is a complex of monolithic rock-cut temples located in Masroor, Kangra Valley. The temple complex features ornate architectural carvings and is built in the shikhara style of classical Indian architecture. Dating back to the 8th to 10th centuries, these sandstone sikharas are hewn from living rock and are rare for North India.
It was an hour long drive from our air bnb in Rakkar, dharamshala. There are two routes, one going via tiara and gaggal road which is steeper and narrower than the state highway 23 road which has gentle slopes and obviously wider than the other but the distance is 9 kms more than the other. So the choice is yours. The place has relics of single stone carved temple. It's beautiful and so calm and serene. Whoever is interested in some history as well as some serene place, should absolutely visit and spend some time, just sitting and enjoying the beauty of nature around you.

On return from Dharamshala to Chandigarh we planned to visit Masroor Rock cut temple. It is a real wonder as temples are built on one Rock just as in Ellora. Though temples were affected by 1905 earthquake but one can see the temple. Restoration work is going on and idols have been kept for worship. However no one is allowed to offer money.

A monolithic rock cut temple of around eighth century. The place is not so popular among tourists. The architecture is wonderful and amazing. Although it was damaged by the 1905 earthquake, still what remains is awesome. A must visit for history lovers.

Masroor Rock Cut Temples – A Hidden Gem of Ancient Architecture Visited on: 6th May 2025 On 6th May 2025, we explored one of Himachal Pradesh’s lesser-known but truly awe-inspiring historical sites —the Masroor Rock Cut Temples. Located about 40 km from Dharamshala, this archaeological wonder is nestled in the quiet village of Masroor, offering a rare and mesmerizing blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. These temples are believed to date back to the 8th century and are carved entirely out of a single rock, much like the famous Kailasa Temple in Ellora. The complex consists of 15 monolithic rock-cut shrines, primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva, though some also depict Vishnu and other deities from the Hindu pantheon. What’s most striking is the intricate detailing in the stone carvings—though many have weathered over the centuries, the remaining figures, pillars, and facades still hint at the grandeur of the original structure. The temples face the Dhauladhar mountain range, and there's a serene water tank in front that reflects the entire complex beautifully—especially during clear daylight. The site is relatively quiet and uncrowded, allowing you to explore at your own pace, absorb the silence, and marvel at the craftsmanship. There’s a calm, sacred energy in the air, and it's easy to feel transported to a different era. Highlights of Our Visit: - The panoramic view of the snow-capped Dhauladhars from the temple platform was breathtaking. - The cool stone interiors offered a welcome break from the summer heat. - The peaceful ambiance made it ideal for quiet reflection and photography. Travel Tips: - You'll need to purchase tickets online from the website of the Archeological Society of India - Best visited in the morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds. - Carry water and snacks, as there are limited facilities around the site. - Wear sturdy shoes—some parts involve uneven steps and rocky paths. - Respect the sanctity of the temple area and avoid climbing over fragile carvings. Final Thoughts: The Masroor Rock Cut Temples are a true hidden treasure of Himachal Pradesh. Though not as widely publicized as other heritage sites in India, they deserve much more recognition for their architectural and historical significance. If you're in the Dharamshala or Kangra region, make the time to visit—you’ll walk away with a sense of wonder and deep appreciation for ancient Indian artistry.

The Masroor Temple, also known as the Rock-Cut Temple, is an 8th-century Hindu temple complex located in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. It's a remarkable example of ancient Indian rock-cut architecture, carved out of a single sandstone rock. According to local mythology, the Pandavas built the temple during their exile.The temple complex consists of 15 rock-cut temples arranged around a rectangular water pond, reflecting the intricate carvings in its still waters. The temple showcases North Indian Nagara architecture style, with a central shikhara tower and a sacred pool.The temple is dedicated to deities to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, and Saura of Hinduism, with sculptures and reliefs depicting various gods and goddesses. The temple complex was first reported by Henry Shuttleworth in 1913 and is believed to have been built between the 7th -9th centuries AD.The temple is located in the Kangra Valley, 43 km from Dharamshala. The temple is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.the Entry fees I think ₹25 And the Best Time to Visit in this month ie October to February forpleasant weather and festivals.

Beautiful, humbling place. There was so much to experience from the Golden temple to the jora service to the langar service to the gold sewa workshop. The museums on-site are also there to serve as a reminder of the resilience that Sikhs have had to have to survive and become a large community. There are many gurudwaras and soravars (lakes) on-site to take amrat as well. To be able to sit under the trees that some of the Gurus had done so was also wonderful. A beautiful place to visit.

Visiting Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment you step inside, the positive energy of the place surrounds you completely. The sight of the golden structure reflecting on the holy water is absolutely breathtaking, it feels serene and spiritual in every sense. The seva done by volunteers, from helping visitors to preparing and serving food in the langar, is truly inspiring. The langar experience itself is something everyone should have at least once, pure, and full of devotion. The entire temple complex is extremely well-maintained, clean, and beautifully organized despite the huge crowds. The pathway around the sarovar is peaceful for sitting or walking, especially in the early morning or late evening when the lighting makes it look magical. Overall, Sri Harmandir Sahib is not just a religious place but a symbol of peace, equality, and faith. No matter what your background is, you’ll feel a deep sense of spirituality here. A must-visit place that truly touches the heart.

Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, originally built by Guru Ram Das Ji, is a full-on serenity powerhouse. The entire space operates like a high-efficiency ecosystem — calm energy, timeless architecture, and a 24/7 langar that serves thousands with seamless execution. Many devotees believe that with the Guru’s blessings, even the toughest illnesses can find relief and healing here. Stepping inside feels like your mind gets a hard reset — clarity, balance, and a sense of collective harmony all in one place.

Good experience ❤️‍🩹 15 sites Sri Harmandir Sahib, widely known as the Golden Temple, is the holiest Gurdwara and the most significant pilgrimage site in Sikhism. Located in the heart of Amritsar, Punjab, it is a symbol of human brotherhood and equality, welcoming people of all castes, creeds, and races. Key Details Name Origin: "Harmandir" means "Temple of God" (Hari = God, Mandir = Temple), while "Sahib" denotes respect. It is called the Golden Temple because its upper stories and dome are adorned with approximately 400-500 kilograms of pure gold leaf. Location and Architecture: The temple complex is built on a 67-foot-square platform in the center of the Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), a large sacred water tank. The main temple structure is connected to the shore by a causeway. A unique architectural feature is its four entrances, symbolizing that the path to God is open to everyone from all directions.

Nestled in the picturesque town of Kangra, the Shaktipeeth Shri Vajreshwari Devi Temple stands as a testament to both spiritual devotion and architectural beauty. This revered Hindu shrine is dedicated to Goddess Vajreshwari and is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, believed to be where a part of Goddess Sati fell according to ancient legends.
Another Shaktipeeth near Dharamshala to visit when traveling there. One of the most beautiful and divine places to experience spirituality. Bit of a walk, climb required amidst a lane of shops, street to reach the temple but the experience after reaching is wholesome. Not much crowd when we went in but lots of monkeys so keep your belongings in check.

Kangra Fort

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Kangra, India, the Kangra Fort stands as a testament to ancient history and architectural marvel. The fort, sprawling over 4 km on a hilltop at the confluence of River Banganga and Patal Ganga, boasts high walls and intricately carved stone entrances. Visitors can explore its rich heritage through audio tours and a museum displaying artifacts, sculptures, and photographs.
I visited Kangra Fort during my trip to Himachal Pradesh, and it was a wonderful experience. This fort is one of the oldest in India and is full of history and stories. The moment I entered, I felt like I had stepped back in time. The fort is built on a hill, and the views from the top are amazing. You can see rivers flowing below and the mountains all around — it’s truly a peaceful and beautiful sight. The walk up to the fort is a little long, with stone steps and ancient gates, but it’s worth it. Along the way, there are small temples and ruins that make you think about how people lived here hundreds of years ago. The information boards are helpful in learning about the fort’s history. As a visitor, I felt calm and curious. The fresh mountain air and silence made the experience even better. It’s not very crowded, which makes it a great place to explore slowly. If you love nature, history, and peaceful places, Kangra Fort is a must-visit. Take your time, enjoy the views, and feel the connection to India’s rich past.

Beautiful & historic Fort in Kangra. The architecture is beautiful & worth exploring. There’s lot of stairs to climb to get to the top where you get the view of beautiful river flowing & mountains covered with clouds. You can sit, enjoy the view or go for a small picnic. A small ticket of 20rs is needed for entry. Many people visit there with their families so might be slightly crowded. Restroom available inside is not very clean. Beautiful flowers & greenery inside.

Visiting Kangra Fort was an incredible experience! 🌄 The fort is majestic and steeped in history, perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the Kangra Valley. Walking through its ancient stone walls and gates, you really feel the stories of centuries gone by. The architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and impressive fortifications that show the skill of the craftsmen of that era. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, making it perfect for photography or just soaking in nature. The site is well-maintained, though wearing comfortable shoes is a must because there’s a lot of walking and some steep climbs. Local guides are available and really add value by sharing fascinating historical anecdotes. Overall, Kangra Fort is a must-visit for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone who appreciates breathtaking views combined with cultural heritage. Definitely a day trip you’ll remember! 🏰🌿

Kangra Fort - Amazing fort & museum, so underrated. Centuries of history, steeped in stone. Some claim it be over 2000 years old. Needs good guides and stone tablets to read. Good there were only a few people. It is a gem tucked just off the highway to Kangra & Dharamshala.
Aqua C — Google review
Such a nice place to visit and to know the history of Kangra better. You must have seen fort before but he speciality of this fort is that it is solely built on a mountain so it will give you a trekking with a fort vibe. Must visit if you are near by.
Abhishek S — Google review
The views from the top are quite nice. But the place could be maintained much better — parts of it felt neglected, and there wasn’t much information to help understand its history. It’s worth a short visit if you’re in the area.

Shri Mata Chintpurni ji Temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
The Shri Mata Chintpurni Temple is a revered pilgrimage site and one of the Shaktipeeths in India, located in Una district, Himachal Pradesh. According to legend, it is believed to be the place where Sati's feet fell after Lord Shiva carried her corpse and wandered in sorrow. Devotees from all over India visit this majestic temple to worship at the lotus feet of Maa Chintpurni.
After standing in a long queue for almost 6 hours, we managed to get darshan of Mata Chintpurni Ji. This temple is a major pilgrimage destination and one of the 51 Shakti Peethas in India. Devotees from all across the country visit here to pray for their long-cherished wishes and desires to come true. I have seen many married couples coming here with their newborns, with the purpose to offer prayers after wish fulfilment. The temple's main gate is made of gold and once you enter you can get a clear darshan of the idol. Pandits are available to help you with the pooja. There is a tree where you can tie the sacred thread, while uttering your wish or desire in your heart that you want to get fulfilled. Someone has even tied a twin-baby doll on the tree, maybe after getting blessed with twins. I feel grateful and privileged for getting the opportunity to visit such a powerful spiritual place. Shoes need to be kept in one of the many pooja-item shops. Crowd management is really commendable. Highly recommended to visit.😇🙏🏻🛕

🌸 **Chintpurni Mata Mandir, Himachal Pradesh** 🌸 Visiting Chintpurni Mata Mandir was a truly blessed and peaceful experience. The temple is beautifully located amidst the hills, offering not just spiritual peace but also stunning views of nature. The darshan experience was smooth, and the temple premises are well-maintained and clean. The priests and staff are kind and helpful, making sure devotees are guided properly. The energy in the temple is powerful — you can really feel the presence of Mata Rani, and it fills your heart with devotion and calm. The local market near the temple is lively, with many stalls selling prasad, flowers, and souvenirs. There are also small eateries around where you can enjoy simple local food. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting Chintpurni Mata Mandir if you’re in Himachal Pradesh — it’s not just a religious visit but also a chance to soak in the peaceful vibes of the mountains and experience the rich culture and faith of the region. 🌺🙏

visited Chintpurni Mata Temple in Amb, Una, and it was a truly blissful experience. We reached there by taxi, the road was smooth, though about half a kilometer before the temple it became a little sloppy. From the drop point, it was just a 10-minute walk to the shrine. The walk itself felt divine, surrounded by serenity and devotees. The temple is one of the Shakti Peethas, believed to be the place where the feet of Goddess Sati fell, making it a site of immense historical and spiritual importance. The aura inside the temple was filled with positive energy, giving me a deep sense of calm and strength. Overall, the visit was peaceful, well-organized, and spiritually uplifting. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking blessings, inner peace, and a connection with the divine.

Nice place to visit. Particularly interesting for children. It is costly in terms of tickets and entertainement. But with the various activities, toy train, boating, shows, huge area, dinosaur park and children enjoyment, with paying the price. Some area was closed today but enough for the day. Normally they ask for package, you can take package which usually costs lower. There are many scenic area, if you like photography then I believe you should plan according for the day light or Sun light directions for best shots.

Don't miss the Sports Science Centre; it is indeed one of a kind. The Dino Park is interesting. There is enough to keep curious kids interested, especially the Fun and Games oriented exhibits and installations. This place can take an entire day, so plan accordingly.

Devotion and Architecture: ​ Nestled in Arya Nagar, Jalandhar, is a beautiful temple complex that serves as a spiritual haven. The serene environment, punctuated by the soothing sounds of bells and hymns, offers a welcome respite. The temple's landscape is dotted with various shrines dedicated to different deities, creating a harmonious and inclusive atmosphere for all visitors. The architectural style is a fascinating mix of traditional and contemporary elements. While the main structures have the classic tiered domes and spires typical of North Indian temple architecture, there are also modern, clean lines and polished marble surfaces that lend the complex a pristine look. A prominent feature is the impressive golden dome, which is a modern addition but reflects the traditional pyramidal shape of temple shikhara. Among the various deities enshrined here, a large statue of Lord Hanuman stands prominently, representing strength and devotion. The temple's interior is equally beautiful, with intricate carvings on the pillars and altars. The use of white marble gives the space a sense of purity and calm, enhancing the spiritual experience for all who enter. This temple complex is not just a place of worship but a cultural and architectural landmark. It beautifully merges ancient religious traditions with modern design, creating a space that is both historically significant and relevant to contemporary spiritual life. It's a place where you can find peace and feel a deep sense of connection.

Very nice experience at the spiritual place. We stayed at the dharamshala inside the temple premises. For 900 rupees per day, we were given a big room with AC and geyser in the bathroom. Rooms were clean compared to other dharamshalas. It takes around 90 minutes to fully cover all places inside the temple. Mornings and evenings are the best time to visit the temple. It's a bit crowded in the evening. Staying in Dharamshala was a great experience as we can visit the temple any number of times effortlessly. The management personnel were very helpful.

The thali was good however there was no fresh safed makhan or makki ka roti or even gulab jamun. The chai was poor because there was no option for no sugar the ladies who made the parantha were never listening to my grandmother who is seventy years old and kept giving her rotis not fresh tawa ka parantha. And the dancing was great however the music is deafening. However the kulfi, dhai Bhalla were amazing, the magic show was great however the chuski was too sweet, I would not recommend bringing the elderly to eat the snacks as it was way too sweet. In the whole Havel was good however this rangale punjab was poor as they didn’t have that many Punjabi food

Locatuon is good right at the highway. Inside atmosphere is good but areawise is not so big. Cultural programme is great. Punjab old cluture is displayed everywhere which is good to see if you have come for the first time Inside a big restaurant is there which is included in the entry ticket but frankly I didnt like the food inside and the biggest reason is - We had so many small meals/ food around the restaurant ( stalls everywhere like chaat, candys, ice cream etc) inside and we got full and there is no place left for the dinner. We suggest you to have the fresh baked roti with makkahn and chutney stall and enjoy other small meals ( chaat, pani puri, candys, ice cream kulfi, aam panna jaggery tea etc.), for diner you can opt after sometime post your digestion. Evrything is included in the entry ticket. Overall I feel the entry ticket 1000 is over priced as the place is not so big and also the food option is limited. One time visit is good.

Located in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, the Bhakra Dam is a massive concrete gravity dam that spans the Satluj River. It was constructed from 1948 to 1963 and stands at a towering height of 207 meters, making it one of the world's highest concrete gravity dams. Covering an area of 168.35 square kilometers, it is India's third-largest reservoir.
When on my bike (a Honda cb350) to the Bhakra Dam from Dharamshala. It took me 3 hours to reach. The Dam felt under overwhelming. But the road is breathtaking and I enjoyed every second of it. Note there are check posts 500 meters before and after the dam where you have to show your ID. Photographer is prohibited within those 500 meters.

It is in Bhakra Village in Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh (India) It is the highest gravity dam in Asia. The dam forms the Gobind Sagar reservoir. To visit the dam you need to get a pass and register your entry. We went there on Sunday and there was no crowd at all. We had seen the dam from outside because we didn't have visiting passes. You can also visit a few popular temples near the place.

A big and spectacular dam. Ysu can drive beside the dam and see it's beauty, If want to go on the top of the dam then you need to take permission from the local authorities to visit. Photography is not allowed at the Dam but from distant you can take beautiful pictures of the dam, Like I have done. A devine place Nainadevi is also around 20 km from there.
Nagesh S — Google review
The dam is spectacular. You need to take permits from the local authorities to visit. There is an office at the checkpoint for the same. Also, while the signboard are displayed on the route, it is somewhat tricky to find the correct route. It is better to confirm with the locals on major turns. Photography is not allowed at the Dam but there are a few locations before and after where beautiful pictures of the dam facade and the reservoir can be clicked. If you are also visiting Nainadevi (20 km / 30-35 minutes from there), it is better to start at the temple and view the dam on the way back as the time needed for the dam is not too much.

Virasat-e-Khalsa

Museum
Heritage museum
Specialty Museums
The Virasat-e-Khalsa museum is a remarkable fortress-style structure that features exhibits and galleries dedicated to the history of Sikhism. It offers an incredible portrayal of both ancient and contemporary times, with special attention given to light and sound effects within the museum. The wax statues are so lifelike that they can easily be mistaken for real people, making it a perfect example of art and creativity.
A must-visit place that beautifully showcases the rich history and spiritual legacy of Sikhism. The architecture is simply breathtaking — a perfect blend of modern design and cultural depth. The galleries inside take you on an immersive journey through the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and important events in Sikh history. Entry is free, and phones are allowed, but photography inside the museum is strictly not allowed — which honestly helps you stay present and absorb the experience better. The museum is well-maintained, peaceful, and has a calming vibe throughout. One downside — the cafeteria inside is currently closed, so plan your food/snack breaks accordingly. Also, it’s a bit of a walk from the main gate to the entrance, so wear comfy shoes and maybe carry water, especially during sunny days. Overall, a beautifully curated experience and a great place to learn, reflect, and feel proud of Punjab’s heritage.

After visiting the Gurudwara at Anandpur Sahib, I was looking for a place to have lunch when I came across the Virasat-e-Khalsa. I decided to visit with my family, and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. On arrival, I discovered that the complex houses the Virasat-e-Khalsa Museum along with a beautiful park that you can explore. The museum is vast and beautifully curated, providing an immersive experience into the rich history, culture, and sacrifices of our Gurus. It showcases how they preserved and promoted the heritage of our land through challenging times, making it both educational and inspiring. The Virasat-e-Khalsa restaurant on-site serves simple yet delicious food at very reasonable prices. Overall, the Virasat-e-Khalsa complex provides a perfect combination of tasty food, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a deep cultural and historical experience — truly a must-visit in Anandpur Sahib

Site - Huge. Landscape -Qater body around. Architecture - Architect Moshe Sedie, Israel. Interior - No idea- Great- 5 star. Art Work - No idea - The best and great. 5 star. Lighting - No idea- Very Poor- 1 star. Sound - No idea. Only if you download the app and use headphone. --- It has a beautiful architecture but more than that Art Work inside, displaying whole history of Sikhi starting from its inception to 1948. Everything so beautifully designed, executed various pavilions, it is totally mesmerising. Artist put so much effort to connect all dots well. But sadly, lighting design is upto 5% thus absolutely flawed. Very first three story pavillion has day & night theme depicting 24 hours life in Punjab from rural to urban, from shop to home to all religious places but time for night is longer than the day thus you are unable to see the beauty and hard work out by artist/s and from behind guards keeps whistling, insisting you to keep moving (though it was not crowded at all!!)!! And this fault in lighting design is everywhere, less or more, you can't even read some display texts!! Ita worth visiting multiple times. Required time duration to complete it - 3-4 hours. Toilets - lavish and clean. Timing -1000 to 1630 (Monday Closed). Timing must be recieved, must be open ar 0900.

It's a public park, located near the stadium. The entry to the park is free for the public, though parking of the vehicle next to the park is paid and limited. Best time to visit is during day in winters and evenings in summers. General cleanliness of the park is good. It's a good place to bring kids as the park holds good amount of playbees for them (on a payment though) . Best amongst them is the rent a bicycle, where one can hire a bike for self and the kids too and ride it on the bike track inside the park. There is a place which houses the eats, reasonably priced (vegetarian only). Hygiene along with taste including variety would be rated at 7/10.

This was a very spiritually uplifting Gurudwara to visit. The Gurudwara is very well managed and meticulously maintained. Everything was perfect. The upstairs of the Gurudwara has the Darbar hall as well as historic weapons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji (Sri Sahib and Katar) while the downstairs has horse prints of Guru Sahib’s horse. The Gurudwara offers langar, a travellers hostel (200RS per night for very basic accommodation) as well as langar and free parking. A true blessing to visit.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji came to this place 4 times. After winning the Battle of Bhangani on his way back to Anandpur Sahib, via Gurdwara Sri Baoli Sahib Dhakauli and Gurdwara Sri Nadha Sahib Panchkula, Guru Gobind Singh arrived here. At the time a bhatha (kiln) was situated. It was burning at full capacity. Guru Ji asked the bhatha labourers about a place he could rest. Knowingly or unknowningly the labourers pointed towards the bhatha. Guru Ji directed his horse (Neela) to step on the extremely hot kiln. At once the bhatha cooled down and Guru Ji's horse hoof left a mark (a hoof print which can be seen at the Gurdwara). One of the labourers informed Chaudhary Nihang Khan, the owner of the bhatha, who was in his Qila at the time. He rushed to the bhatha and to his astonishment saw Guru Gobind Singh sitting on the bhatha. Chaudhary bowed his head in front of the Guru and asked for a pardon. Chaudhary then took Guru Ji to his fort. On the following day, Guru Gobind Singh and his Singhs proceeded to Anandpur. During Guru Gobind Singh's second visit, Guru Ji came to this place for the engagement of Alam Khan, Chaudary Nihang Khan's son. On Guru Gobind Singh's return from Kurukshetra, Guru Ji stopped here for his third visit. After Guru Gobind Singh left Anandpur for the final time, Guru stopped here for his forth and final visit. He asked Nihang Khan to look after Bhai Bachittar Singh as Bhai Ji had been mortally wounded. As a huge mughal force was chasing Guru Ji, he left. But before leaving, Guru Ji provided Nihang Khan with a Sri Sahib, a katar and a shield. The items can be viewed at the Gurdwara and Bhai Bachittar Singh's shastaars can be viewed at Gurdwara Sri Shaheed Ganj Bhai Bachittar Singh in Kotla Nihang, Ropar. Prakash Diwas of 1st, 5th and 10th Patshahi, Sangrand with Amrit Sanchar, Jor Mela from 1st Poh to 4th Poh and the anniversary of Baba Jiwan Singh Ji on 11th are organised here.

This historic church dates back to the British rule and showcases architectural splendor with stained-glass windows and a clock tower. Located near Mall road, it offers a tranquil environment that provides insight into the region's colonial past and spiritual heritage. The church's serene ambiance makes it an essential stop for cultural enrichment in any Kasauli itinerary.
It is one of the most mesmerizing, peaceful, and spiritual places I have ever been to. Because it is placed nearby the market or parking stand you can easily go there by foot. This parking space (50 Rs. for two wheeler) is for all tourists as vehicles from other places are not allowed in that area. Only taxis can go towards the sunset point and Gill Beet Trail. The church is surrounded by tall deodar trees, feels like a serene oasis. It's stunning example of Gothic architecture, with its stained glass windows beautifully shows the scenes of Jesus Christ and Mother Mary.  The wooden interiors and sloping roof give it an enchanting, old-world charm. A number of tourists come to visit this Church especially on weekends. Even if you are not religious, you will find yourself drawn to its beauty and serenity and it is truly magical. The church is well-maintained, clean, and has a rich history that you can learn about from the friendly people there. Officially, the photography is not allowed inside, you can capture some gorgeous pictures outside as the church framed by the lush surroundings. At this church, you can experience the glimpse of history, beauty, and spirituality together. It is must visit placed in Kasauli.

An old style British era church reminds you of an epic journey to a place stationed somewhere in memories. The architecture of the church is very nice and you can spend some quiet time with God here. Inside the atmosphere is very nice and peaceful. Now this church attracts many tourists and it is just a few meters away from new parking Kasuali.

Christ Church, Kasauli – A Peaceful Hilltop Retreat with a Touch of History Nestled in the serene hills of Kasauli, Christ Church is a beautiful and calming place to visit, especially if you're someone who enjoys peaceful environments and colonial charm. Located at the heart of this quaint hill station, the church stands as a quiet reminder of British-era architecture, with its stunning Gothic design, stained-glass windows, and tall pine trees surrounding it. The church is not just a religious spot but also a perfect place for travelers seeking tranquility. The calmness of the area, the cool breeze, and the scenic views make it ideal for reflection, photography, or simply sitting and soaking in the peace. Being one of the oldest churches in Himachal Pradesh (built in 1853), it carries historical significance too. What makes it special: Situated in a picturesque hill station, surrounded by lush greenery and colonial-era buildings. Offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere, away from the chaos of city life. Great spot for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and nature seekers. Just a short walk from Mall Road, making it accessible for all. One downside to keep in mind is the presence of monkeys in the area. While they generally don’t bother visitors if left alone, it's advisable not to carry food openly or engage with them. Pro tips: Visit during early morning or late afternoon for the best experience. Avoid feeding or teasing monkeys. Carry a camera – the church and its surroundings are truly photogenic. Whether you're in Kasauli for a weekend getaway or just passing through, Christ Church is definitely worth a visit for its timeless charm and peaceful vibes.

On a recent visit to Kasauli, I had the pleasure of visiting Christ Church, and it was a truly serene and memorable experience. We went on a Saturday morning, and to our delight, there was no wait, allowing us to enter and explore at our own pace. The church itself is a beautiful example of neo-Gothic architecture, with a peaceful and timeless atmosphere. Inside, the stunning stained-glass windows depicting Christ, Mother Mary, and St. Francis and St. John are the main attraction. The vibrant colors and intricate details are breathtaking, especially when the light streams through them. It's the kind of artistry that makes you want to sit and contemplate for a while. A unique and touching part of the visit was the opportunity to buy candles for prayer. You simply sit inside the church, and a caretaker comes around to offer candles. There's something deeply personal and humbling about lighting a candle in such a historic and spiritual space. It’s a simple act that adds a layer of personal reflection to the visit. The overall feeling is one of tranquility and calm. It’s a place to escape the hustle and bustle, to find a moment of peace, and to appreciate the history and architecture. The lack of crowds on a Saturday was a major plus, making the experience even more intimate. Whether you are a history buff, a spiritual seeker, or just looking for a quiet place to sit and think, Christ Church is a must-visit in Kasauli.

The Christ Church Kasauli situated close to the bus stand, was constructed by the the British family who founded the town of Kasauli itself. The church is a magnificent structure built in the shape of a cross. Set amidst a grove of chestnut and fir trees, the church offers quiet and tranquil atmosphere. Earlier the church was known by the name of Anglican Church. In the year 1970, the church was brought under the aegis of the CNI (Churches of North India). It is currently managed by the diocese of Amritsar. The Christ Church is the prime building in the centre of the heritage area of Kasauli town and as one enters the main town, this is the first building which comes to view. This church was previously an Anglican church and was founded in the year 1844,😇🙏

A very beautiful church built in 1800s by the Britishers. Marvellous architecture, very similar to other churches established by the Britishers in various hill stations across India. The church is open from morning till a little post sunset. The church has guards ensuring one doesn't litter it and create nuisance. There is a washroom and parking nearby. The church is very close to the basement parking at kasauli i.e. the moment you enter the hill station fee barrier. A must go, once you are here.

Sunset Point

Sunset Point in Kasauli is a popular destination for nature lovers and couples seeking romantic views. Located near the Kasauli Club, this lookout offers breathtaking vistas of the sun setting behind the majestic Himalayan mountains. Visitors can also enjoy sunrise views from this point, making it an ideal spot to start the day. The area surrounding Sunset Point is known for its misty wooded peaks and tranquil valleys, providing a serene atmosphere for quiet walks and photography opportunities.
A beautiful experience, and actually magical which will leave you confused whether it's dawn or dusk. A easy walk about 30 mins to one hour, but you won't feel the pinch. As the walk is through beautiful ancient british era bungalows and trees, and flowers blooming. Just near sunset point is a small cafe. I didn't like cafe much as it was filled with plastic (selling items). The walk was beautiful and so was the timing. It felt like looking at a sea with mountains, and the sun dipping. We were there for an hour until the sun finally went in. Beware of the monkeys, don't feed them please. Don't try to shoo them either, just walk your path and they would be fine. Please don't litter this beautiful place, the army takes in a lot of effort to keep it open to the rest of country. We should respect that.

I've been visiting Kasauli Sunset Point regularly over the past 15 years — around 15 to 20 times — and it never loses its charm. This spot holds a special place in my heart for its peaceful and calming atmosphere. The serenity here is unmatched, especially on quiet weekdays when you can truly absorb the beauty of nature without distractions. The view during sunset is breathtaking, and if you’re lucky to catch it on a cloudy day, the place turns magical — almost surreal. The best time to visit is from September to December, when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear. Tip: Try to avoid weekends (Saturday & Sunday), as the place tends to get crowded with tourists from nearby states. On such days, the peaceful charm fades and the area feels more like a regular park rather than a serene hill station. If you're someone who appreciates quiet moments and scenic beauty, make sure to plan your visit during weekdays. Kasauli Sunset Point is truly a gem — a peaceful escape that deserves to be treated with care and respect.

One of the most beautiful sunset views I’ve ever seen—peaceful hills, glowing skies, and a calm vibe that’s hard to describe. It's nature’s therapy. I visited on a weekend and found it a bit crowded, so try going on a weekday for a quieter experience. There are two small eateries nearby for chai and snacks—simple but perfect. ✨ Tips: – Arrive 20–30 mins before sunset for the best spot – Wear a light jacket (it gets breezy) – Avoid weekends if you prefer less crowd – Carry your camera—every angle is a wallpaper

A peaceful spot offering beautiful valley views, especially during sunset. Located 3 km from Mall Road - 2 km by taxi and 1 km walk required. The area is well-maintained by the Air Force and a small play area. Arrive 20-30 minutes early as the sunset happens quickly.

It's a must-visit for anyone in Kasauli seeking a tranquil and picturesque experience. Getting there is quite easy. You can enjoy a pleasant walk from the main parking area, which is a great way to take in the serene surroundings. Alternatively, taxis are readily available to drop you closer to the viewpoint, making it accessible for everyone. The sunset itself is the main draw here, and it's absolutely mesmerizing. The panoramic views of the valleys and distant peaks make for a stunning backdrop, perfect for photography or simply soaking in the natural beauty. A crucial tip: Don't bother visiting on a cloudy day! The entire purpose of the point is to witness the sunset, and if the sky is overcast, you'll be left disappointed. Plan your visit for a clear evening to ensure you get the full experience. Be prepared when you go, as there are no shops or vendors at Sunset Point. Remember to carry your own water bottles and any snacks you might need to stay hydrated and energized while you enjoy the view. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a beautiful end to your day in Kasauli!

The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, with a cool breeze and a panoramic view of the valleys below. It makes you feel so calm and connected to nature. Whether you're a tourist or a local, making your way here for the evening is 100% worth it. It’s the highlight of Kasauli!

A Serene Stroll Through Nature: Gilbert Trail Kasauli Gilbert Trail in Kasauli offers a truly peaceful escape into nature, earning a solid four-star rating. It's a fantastic spot for those looking to unwind and soak in the tranquility of the hills. Be prepared for a walk!

The path is well-defined, and you'll often find people stopping to take photos, capturing the stunning views and serene surroundings. It's easy to see why – the lush greenery and fresh air are incredibly invigorating. The real charm of Gilbert Trail lies in its quietude.

I recently visited Gilbert Trail with a group of six friends, and it was such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. From the moment we arrived, the serene atmosphere provided a perfect escape from the city's hustle. The trail itself is impeccably maintained—wide, clean, and paved, making it easy for all seven of us to walk side-by-side without any trouble. We spent the entire time chatting and laughing while enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and lush landscape. The peaceful sounds of nature and the shade from the trees created a truly tranquil backdrop for our catch-up session. What we appreciated most was how the trail caters to everyone. Whether you're looking for a vigorous walk or a leisurely stroll, the flat terrain is accessible and enjoyable. We noticed many families, joggers, and other small groups, all sharing the space respectfully. There are also plenty of benches along the way, which was great for when we wanted to pause, sit together, and just soak in the natural beauty. It was the ideal blend of light exercise, beautiful scenery, and quality time with friends. I cannot recommend Gilbert Trail enough for anyone looking to spend a refreshing few hours outdoors. We left feeling rejuvenated and are already planning our next visit

• Asia’s largest rose garden, sprawled over ~30 acres, with around 50,000 rose bushes encompassing 1,600 varieties — this immense diversity makes it a botanical marvel.   • Often called a “Floral Wonderland” or “blooming exhibit,” it’s a sensory delight for flower lovers.   Visually Stunning & Well-Maintained • The garden is meticulously landscaped with carved lawns, flower beds, fountains, and pathways—ideal for photography, reflection, or just soaking up the scenery.    • Multiple reviews highlight the serene ambiance and cleanliness: “The Rose Garden is a breathtakingly beautiful place spread across a vast area… exceptionally well‑maintained, with lush greenery and a clean, serene atmosphere.”  “Calm, serene, clean and green… soothing… Well laid out green areas and the pathways… a dedicated kids zone… fountains… amazing variety of roses of course…”

It is a very nice and big garden where you can easily spend 2 to 3 hours. Childrens play area are also there. There are lots of varities of roses from all over the world. You can scan their QR code and know more information about them. Better to visit in winters as roses are more blossoms in that season.

Has to be the best place in chandigarh, one of the best walking / jogging track you'd see.. lake on one side and green belt on the other.. sit for sometime and enjoy the wonderful hills in the backdrop and feel the cool breeze.. plenty of parking and a wonderful cafe..
Sumit G — Google review
I visited Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh early morning recently, and it was a refreshing experience! This man-made lake, built in 1958 by Le Corbusier’s team, is a serene spot with calm waters reflecting the Shivalik hills. The early morning vibe was magical—cool air, chirping birds, and a stunning sunrise painting the sky. The walking path was perfect for a peaceful stroll, and I loved watching locals jogging and practicing yoga. The nearby café served tasty snacks, adding to the charm. However, some areas had litter, which slightly detracted from the beauty. Also, more benches would’ve been nice for resting. Despite these, Sukhna Lake’s tranquility and scenic views make it a lovely spot to start the day in Chandigarh.

A Serene Escape and the Jewel of Chandigarh! During my visit to Chandigarh for the ISRT meeting this September, a trip to Sukhna Lake was the perfect way to unwind. The moment I arrived, I was struck by the incredible sense of peace and tranquility. The lake itself is beautiful, with placid waters shimmering against the stunning backdrop of the distant Shivalik Hills. A leisurely stroll along the clean, wide promenade was so refreshing and offered a wonderful escape from the city's hustle. The atmosphere was calm and rejuvenating, and I could see why it's such a beloved spot for locals and tourists alike. Sukhna Lake is truly the jewel of Chandigarh. It was a highlight of my trip and is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking a moment of peace and natural beauty

I have been visiting this place and it remains an incredible destination to relax and reconnect with nature. Sukhna Lake, a serene reservoir at the foothills of the Shivalik Hills in the Himalayas, is an integral part of Chandigarh’s planned cityscape. Even today, it stands as one of India’s most famous artificial lakes and planned city, offering a tranquil experience with still waters. Nestled at the forefront of Sector 1, the lake is surrounded by lush forests and sits adjacent to the governor’s residences of both states. The morning sunshine here is truly mesmerizing, creating a magical aura for early risers. Joggers, walkers, and yoga enthusiasts find their perfect spot along the lake’s edge to embrace the refreshing start of the day.

Very faithful and peaceful and beautiful palace. Spiritual healing and peace are the properties of the Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib, one of the most revered Gurudwaras in Punjab. Located in Lehal, a part of Patiala, it is famous for its curing properties for any ailments that anyone may be suffering from. Visitors have faith in abluting in the holy water of the pond here, because of its healing qualities. Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib's origin is tied to a villager named Bhag Ram from Lehal, who sought the blessings of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to end a mysterious plague afflicting the area. In January 1672, the Guru visited Lehal, spending time by the village pond, preaching and meditating under a banyan tree. His presence and meditation led to the plague's eradication. Consequently, the site where Guru Ji meditated came to be known as Dukhnivaran, meaning "the end of all sufferings", and this name was given to the Gurudwara. Between 1748 and 1782, Raja Amar Singh of Patiala established a garden in honour of Guru Tegh Bahadur's special visit, entrusting its care to Nihang Sikhs. Court records from 1870 mention a garden belonging to the Guru and a well, used by the Nihangs. In 1920, plans to build a railway line threatened the banyan tree where Guru Tegh Bahadur had sat, but workers refused to cut it down. Consequently, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh cancelled the project. Although a Gurudwara had not yet been built, a committee was formed in 1930 to raise funds and begin construction. Twelve years later, in 1942, the building was completed under the supervision of Maharaja Yadavindra Singh, a devout Sikh. True to its name, Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib is believed to alleviate grief for those who visit with a pure heart and offer sincere prayers.

Gurdwara Shri Dukh Nivaran Sahib is not just a religious site; it's an oasis of profound peace and spiritual solace. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere envelops you in a sense of calm and serenity. The architecture is stunningly beautiful, with the gleaming white marble and gold domes creating a majestic yet welcoming sight. The complex is incredibly well-maintained, with spotlessly clean premises and beautifully landscaped gardens that invite quiet contemplation. The highlight, as the name suggests ('Dukh Nivaran' meaning 'Eraser of Sorrows'), is the peaceful and uplifting energy of the main sanctum. Listening to the continuous recitation of Gurbani (Guru's hymns) is a heart-touching experience that feels truly liberating. The Langar (community kitchen) is run with immense dedication and selfless service (Seva). The food is simple, delicious, and served with so much love and warmth, embodying the core Sikh principle of equality and community. Whether you are seeking spiritual blessings, historical knowledge, or simply a quiet place to find inner peace, this Gurdwara is a must-visit. The volunteers and staff are helpful and humble. An absolutely unforgettable experience that stays with you long after you've left. Highly recommended for everyone.

Shri Kali Devi Temple, Patiala

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Shri Kali Devi Mandir, a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Kali, was constructed by Sikh Maharaja Bhupinder Singh in 1936. It is a highly revered religious site that remains bustling throughout the day with devotees seeking blessings from Maa Kali and hoping for their wishes to be fulfilled. Situated in Patiala, this must-visit temple boasts of new infrastructure and a well-maintained parking area.
We visited the temple on a Sunday and believe me it was too crowded. We don't get to see the deity properly as the priests will literally push you away. Frankly speaking, cleanliness of the surroundings of the temple needs to be worked on...it was littered with garlands, wine bottles and Puja items. If these things are not allowed inside the temple..then it must be restricted.

Maa Kali Devi Temple in Patiala is one of the most revered temples dedicated to Goddess Kali, often considered second in significance only to the famous Kalighat Temple in Kolkata. The temple exudes a strong spiritual and peaceful atmosphere that many visitors immediately feel upon entering. It is not just a place of worship but also an important cultural and historical landmark of the Royal City Patiala. Saturdays usually attract large crowds of devotees, so those who prefer a calm and unhurried darshan may plan their visit on weekdays. The temple has long been known for its deep-rooted traditions, including stories of immense devotion where devotees make unique prayers and offerings out of divine faith. Overall, it is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to experience the spiritual heritage and living devotion that defines Patiala’s connection with Maa Kali. The Maa Kali Devi Temple in Patiala also houses a much older and revered temple of Maa Rajarajeshwari within the same premises, located centrally inside the complex.

This expansive park features a jogging track, vibrant flower beds, and a serene pond, making it an ideal spot for morning or evening strolls.

“LUNGS OF PATIALA” This monicker perfectly describes Baradari Garden in Patiala. Huge open green, peaceful place for morning and evening walks. Added attraction is the chirping of birds which has just about gone extinct in our concrete jungle of the city. Hugely popular for songs and film shoots of Pollywood and Bollywood. You can find innumerable species of flora in the vast space. As the name suggests this garden had 12 entrances. Parking available at many entrances. Rides and games available for children. Hugely popular in Sunday’s’ and holidays. Open air gym is also very popular with all age groups. But it needs regular maintenance. Some of the equipment are not in proper working order. Cafeteria and clean toilets available. Must visit place in the summers. There is a marked difference in atmospheric temperature as you enter this garden
