| Beautiful and picturesque Chamba stands on the right bank of the Ravi river valley in the lap of Himalayas. The views down over the terraced fields are spectacular, with tiny-sloped houses clinging on the green valley. Chamba is famous for its medieval temples, whose architecture reflects the glory of its erstwhile rulers. Chamba has a number of temples, palaces and stylish buildings. It turns to be a fantastic spot for adventure tourists to undertake winter trekking from November to March when the higher reaches of the district are snow clad and access there is by foot. The sites of interest are the old temples, which exhibit architectural beauty of design and execution. Laxmi Narayan Temple, the complex of six temples, made in the Hindu shikhara style is the main tourist attraction of the town. Chowgan, the grassy esplanade at the heart of the town, is the focus for local festivals. To the northeast of the Laxmi Narayan temple lies the small Surara temples. Brajreshwari Devi temple, Chamunda Devi Temple, Sui Mata Temple, Harirai Temple, Radha Krishna Temple, Sitaram Temple and Champavati Temple are the attractions of Chamba. The Rangmahal or the Old Palace is another important place to visit. Bhuri Singh Museum attracts tourists for exquisite handicraft items. Hotels in Chamba offer a wide variety of comfortable accommodation. While, in high season, the rates of the hotels rise; in off-season they might get 50 per cent down.
So, breeze in to get a memorable experience for your senses and leave the rest to us.
