Subhash Baoli
सुभाष बावली
A mountain spring in the woods, where Subhas Chandra Bose often came during his convalescence in 1937, with views of snow peaks on clear days.
Subhash Baoli, where baoli means spring well, lies in the woods about 1 km northeast of Gandhi Chowk. In 1937 the Indian nationalist leader Subhas Chandra Bose spent several months in Dalhousie recovering from illness. He is said to have come here every day to drink the spring water and sit in meditation in the woods, and the spring was named after him afterwards. A memorial plaque stands by the spring, surrounded by cedar forest. On clear days you can see distant snow peaks. The site is small and suits an early morning walk. It can be linked with the exterior of Judge Gehn's residence nearby and the Upper Bakrota Walk to form a walking route.
