Chamba is surrounded
by places of interest to the enterprising tourist and special look out
points, commanding panoramic views abound on all sides. The river Ravi
rises in the snow-peaks of Bara Banghal in Chamba, and the rive Beas from
a glacial lake near Rohtang. The last snow range is Dhaula Dhar running
parallel to the Pir Panjal, south of it. Both these ranges enclose the
attractive Kullu Valley. The Beas cuts a fantastic gorge through Dhaula
Dhar at Larji. A smaller and more or less continous range about 2,000
meters high runs south of the snowy ranges, Salooni, at a height of 1829
meters and 56 Km from Chamba, offers a breath - taking panoramic view of
the snow covered hills and peaks. Situated at the top of a ridge and opening
into the Bhandal Valley, this scenic spot of great beauty leads also to
Bhaderwah.
