Pink, red and white rhododendron blooms cloud its hill sides, alpine meadows are spangled with wild flowers and the scent of pine and wood smoke enrich the air. The lovely tree clad slopes around Dalhousie are dotted with colonial bungalows, pretty holiday homes and cottages with flower filled gardens that offer splendid views of the Himalayan ranges and fertile valleys.
