Panchpula
पंचपुला
A mountain stream and small waterfall where five bridges span the flow, with a memorial to freedom fighter Ajit Singh and the town's most popular walk on the outskirts.
Panchpula means "five bridges". It lies about 3 km south of Gandhi Chowk, where several mountain springs meet and form a small waterfall. It once supplied water to the town of Dalhousie. Here stands a memorial to Sardar Ajit Singh, an Indian independence activist and uncle of Bhagat Singh, who died in Dalhousie on the day India gained independence in 1947. There are snack stalls and tea stalls nearby, where you can rest by the stream. You can also walk to the nearby Satdhara Springs. It takes about 40 minutes on foot from the town centre or 10 minutes by car. It is busier on weekends.
