Gandhi Chowk & Mall Road
Gandhi Chowk
Dalhousie's central square, with colonial-era buildings, a Tibetan market and cafés along a hillside walking street.
Gandhi Chowk is the centre of Dalhousie. During British rule it was called Post Office Chowk, and St. John's Church and the old post office stand on the square. Two hillside walking paths lead from here: Garam Sadak on the sunny side and Thandi Sadak on the shady side. Both run to Subhash Chowk, a total of about 2 km. Along the way are colonial-style buildings, Tibetan handicraft markets, shawl and woollen shops and small restaurants. In the evening, locals and visitors stroll here. On clear days you can see snow-capped mountains from the paths. Vehicles are restricted, so walking is the best way to explore.
