Colonial Imprint
In the 19th century, Dharamshala emerged as a favored destination for British officers and their families seeking respite from the sweltering heat of the Indian plains. The town’s cool climate, lush greenery, and panoramic vistas made it an ideal retreat, earning it the moniker of a colonial hill station.
During this period, Dharamshala flourished as a center of colonial administration and leisure, with grand colonial-style buildings, churches, and bungalows dotting its landscape. The echoes of British influence can still be seen in the quaint architecture and charming ambiance that define Dharamshala to this day.
