About Chamba
Chamba town sits above the Ravi with a temple complex that predates most hill stations in the state by centuries.
It is also the gateway to Bharmour and the Pangi side, so many journeys through here are longer than a single stop.

- The old town is compact; the surrounding valley is not.
- Khajjiar and Dalhousie are the usual connections east.
- Bharmour is a long valley drive south-east of town.
