It is thickly wooded with stately pines and oaks and has lovely picnic spot all around. Dalhousie is the gateway to Chamba. . Originally conceived as a sanatorium by its founder Lord Dalhousie, it is today one of the most quiet hill stations.

Dharamshala stands at the foot of Dhauladhar and has a magnificent view of snowy peaks, deodar and pine forests, tea gardens and beautiful hills. Dharamshala now really has become international, with a number of Tibetan settlements and the residence of Noble Laureate the 'Dalai Lama'.

McLeod Ganj: The arrival of the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, along with thousands of refugees to Dharamshala in 1959 made the life here more active. A number of Tibetan settlements with religious education and other rehabilitation centers mushroomed all over the Mcleodganj. As Dharamshala became the headquarter of the Tibetan Government in exile, headed by Dalai Lama, it gained prominence all over the world and prominent personalities started arriving here.

Winter schedule to see 30 per cent more flights

Domestic airlines will operate almost 30 per cent more flights from October this year than they operated in October last year. The planned increase in flights by the industry is the highest in the history of aviation, according to a report by Shishir Sinha in The Hindu Business Line. Besides, Puducherry will become the 83rd airport to get air connectivity with SpiceJet planning a daily flight from Chennai, during winter. Domestic airlines plan to operate 14,750 flights a week during the winter schedule. Globally, the winter schedule extends from the last Sunday of October every year till the last Saturday of March the following year.

SpiceJet plans to use a 40 - 75 seater Canadian Regional Jet Q 400 aircraft to operate between Chennai and Puducherry. The launch of the flight may also be the beginning of regional service for the airline. According to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) sources, there will be an almost 75 per cent increase in connectivity to Port Blair from various parts of the country. Domestic airlines plan to operate 75 weekly flights from the current 42 weekly flights to Port Blair. National Carrier, Air India plans to start direct flights to Port Blair from New Delhi, while low-cost carrier, GoAir plans provide connections to Port Blair from Chennai and Kolkata. Kingfisher has plans to fly from Bangalore and Kolkata to Port Blair. Agatti in Lakshwadeep, and Pantnagar are the cities scheduled to get more flights this winter schedule. Jet Airways is going to provide direct connectivity to Agartala from New Delhi. Currently Agartala can be reached via Kolkata or Guwahati only. “Airlines are very bullish. Bulk bookings by corporates are on the rise. Occasional travel by air is also increasing, and that is why airlines are planning to operate more flights during the winter schedule,” said a senior DGCA official.

Tourists continue to throng Shimla, Manali in spite of rains

The tourist rush continues this year in the popular Himachal Pradesh resorts of Shimla and Manali some twenty days after the onset of the monsoon. Both places saw a huge rush of tourists over the weekend despite heavy rains all over northern India. This time the rains set in a week early in Himachal on June 23, according to a report by Baldev S Chauhan in My Himachal.

Observers said these trends are indicators that Shimla and Manali have now become all season destinations. Travel agents say that in the past, after the onset of the monsoon, tourist destinations in the state would witness a sudden drop in arrivals, but this year is unusual as the rush has continued, particularly on weekends. In the past, hotels would offer off season packages but due to the rush continuing, members of the hotel and travel industry are reluctant to offer discounts this rainy season. It also indicates that the growing Indian middle class is travelling more as it gets richer with the booming Indian economy.
