General info The Chamba Valley lies in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. This district consists mainly of the valley of the Ravi -- which forms part of the Indus River system -- and the Brahmour. It is a region enclosed by two spur ranges of the Great Himalayan range -- The Dhauladhar and the Pangi -- Pir Panjal ranges. Snowed up huts in late March, Dalhousie.
